$ less anything
/test^H^H^H^H
$ LESSCHARSET=ascii
or latin1 doesn't matter.
$ man less
/BACKSPACE
...
BACKSPACE
Delete the character to the left of the cursor, or cancel the
command if the command line is empty.
...
BS is obviously considered a NON-editing key...(!?)
sam goes for:
^LEFTARROW, ^RIGHTARROW, HOME, END, ^BS, ^DEL, TAB, BACKTAB, ^L
