Description: In bf8bbe9, getpass.getpass gained the ability to provide keyboard feedback through echo_char. On Unix, line editing shortcuts such as Ctrl+U were previously handled as the terminal operates in canonical mode (see termios(3)). However, since keyboard feedback requires to switch to noncanonical mode, this now results in an inconsistency when getpass.getpass uses echo_char as those shortcuts are no more supported. This limitation is specific to Unix and does not affect Windows users where line editing shortcuts were never supported.
