To map it to Ctrl+Backspace you can add

```
XTerm*vt100.translations: #override\
    Ctrl ~Meta ~Shift <Key> BackSpace  :popup-menu(vtMenu)
```

to your Xresources file and reload the X resource database:

    xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

The name of the file does not matter. You can find the a X keysym (BackSpace in my example) by running `xev` and then pressing the desired key.

On my side the menu does not go away until something in it is clicked though. Couldn't find a fix for that (tried using KeyPress for the action and mapping KeyRelease to redraw() or other functions to no avail).

No idea what happened there, I too remember using that menu on Ctrl+Button2. I do see for a glimpse the menu box being mapped with that shortcut, but that's all.

You can see in `man xterm` that the translation (i.e. keyboard shortcut) is still there:

    !Ctrl <Btn2Down>:popup-menu(vtMenu) \n\

I'd file a bug report. Let us know if you do.
