Probably not. In most terminals, backspace is equivalent to ^H (Ctrl+H).
So Ctrl+BS would be "Ctrl+Ctrl+H", which is nonsensical.

When working in the terminal, you have to get used to working with a
restricted set of key combinations. Terminal software receives a stream
of characters as input, rather than keycodes, so it doesn't have full
access to the wide array of modifiers and combinations that, say, an X
GUI application does.
