Dear Maintainer,

Use of control-U to kill (entirely delete) the current line of text has been
fairly standard
during password entry on Linux for decades; it's very disorienting that
pinentry-tty doesn't
support it.

Looks as if a user has submitted a (tiny!) patch upstream to enable this, but
not clear what
upstream think of it:

Best regards,
Conrad

Hello,

the upstream bugreport is closed and this also works for me now.
