[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#1016020: pinentry-gtk2: doesn't support ^U (control-U)

[Alejandro Colomar]

Package: pinentry-gtk2
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: important

Hi,

pinentry-gtk2 should support ^U to clear the password field,
as is common in many other places where a password is accepted
(login prompts, ...).

pinentry-tty added support for it <https://dev.gnupg.org/T4583>,
so maybe you can take a similar approach?

Cheers,

Alex
