Firefox: Enable Case Sensitive Searches When Using Find (Ctrl+F)
thanks,

There are two ways I know of to do this. If you preceed a control character with CTRL-V, the control character will be escaped. For example, pressing CTRL-V and then BACKSPACE will yield a ^H on the screen which represents a CTRL-H. The backslash character () will also escape a control character, so you can type BACKSPACE and you'll also see ^H.
Let us know if this doesn't help.

stty erase ^?
the ^H version is also correct but it works on a different term/keyboard setup.
