This works in every environment I use except LXTerminal where I need it the most:)

You could use Alt+Backspace or Ctrl+W to delete words.

What terminals did you tried, and did you set a configuration (like backspace binding) in the terminal to achieve that? I tried GNOME terminal and it did the same as deleting a character.

That is a good point about alt+backspace, thanks for the hint! I did not set a binding in the terminal because it is not in my list of bindings, but I can just use alt+backspace for now.

This was fixed in VTE 0.40.3 (gtk3): bug, commit.
