Description: Fixes #138577 When using getpass.getpass(echo_char='*'), keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+U (kill line), Ctrl+W (erase word), and Ctrl+V (literal next) now work correctly by reading the terminal's control character settings and processing them in non-canonical mode. Tested with: import getpass # Test Ctrl+U (clear line) # Type "wrong", press Ctrl+U, type "correct" password = getpass.getpass(echo_char="*") print(f"Result: {password!r}") # Expected: 'correct' # Test Ctrl+W (erase word) # Type "hello world", press Ctrl+W, type "python" password = getpass.getpass(echo_char="*") print(f"Result: {password!r}") # Expected: 'hello python' # Test Ctrl+V (literal next) # Type "test", press Ctrl+V, press Ctrl+U, type "more" password = getpass.getpass(echo_char="*") print(f"Result: {password!r}") # Expected: 'test\x15more' (contains literal Ctrl+U) Issue: gh-138577 📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--141597.org.readthedocs.build/
