Problems with Ctrl+Backspace in Sublime Text 3

I regularly use ctrl+backspace in Sublime 3 to delete a whole word, but recently it stopped working. Nothing happens when I try to use it.

I have tried mapping it in Key Bindings - User as

{ "keys": ["ctrl+backspace"], "command": "delete_word", "args": { "forward": false } }

but still no luck. Have also checked that it is not caught by AutoHotKey or other programs running in the background. Anyone else having the same issue with Sublime 3? Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Check out the FindKeyConflicts plugin, available via Package Control. Once installed, open the Command Palette and type findkeycon until the FindKeyConflicts options appear. Choose All Conflicts and hit Enter. Once the new tab opens and is populated, search in it for ctrl+backspace and see if anything comes up. Once you find the offending plugin, you can use PackageResourceViewer to edit the appropriate .sublime-keymap file and change that key combo to something else.

Good luck!
