As xxd is an optional package, and od is in base coreutils package, you may want
to suggest e.g.

	$ od -atx1
	<Ctrl-V><Backspace><Enter><Ctrl-D> [four key entries]

and please post the output.

Alternatively cygcheck -k is intended for testing console key codes under cmd,
and if that could be helpful, ask for cmd to be run, then in that console
session, type:

	> cygcheck -k
	<Backspace>q [two key entries]

and please post the output e.g.

>cygcheck -k

This key check works only in a console window, _NOT_ in a terminal session!
Abort with Ctrl+C if in a terminal session.

Press 'q' to exit.
