Revised Information Below, I mistakenly read you wanted to delete a line of
input, and not a single word:

Open up Notepad, put this text into it:
;
; Remap Ctrl+Backspace to delete a word of input in BeipMU
; only when BeipMU is the active window.
;
#ifWinActive, ahk_class MainWnd
{
^Backspace::
{
KeyWait, Ctrl
Send, +^{Left}
Send, {Del}
}
return
}
return


Save the file somewhere, Desktop or myDocs/Scripts, somewhere easily accessible
to yourself. Name it something like: BeipMU.ahk
When you use BeipMU, double-click on "BeipMU.ahk" that will run it.

When you press ctrl+Backspace (and then release ctrl) the word before the cursor
is deleted.

In AutoHotKey, + means shift, and ^ is ctrl.
