--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 312-1 Severity: normal Whether I run xterm -xrm "*VT100.backarrowKey: true" or xterm -xrm "*VT100.backarrowKey: false" the backarrow key gives the delete (127) character, while the xterm man page says: backarrowKey (class BackarrowKey) Specifies whether the backarrow key transmits a backspace (8) or delete (127) character. This corresponds to the DECBKM control sequence. A “true” value specifies backspace. The default is “True”. Pressing the control key toggles this behavior. This is actually the observed behavior only when backarrowKeyIsErase is set to false: xterm -xrm "*backarrowKeyIsErase: false" -xrm ... I think that when backarrowKeyIsErase is set to true (the default), this is the expected behavior, as described under backarrowKeyIsErase, and that the man page description of backarrowKey is incorrect. So, I suppose that the default value of backarrowKey is "true" if backarrowKeyIsErase is false; otherwise it depends... But the relation between backarrowKeyIsErase, ptyInitialErase, ttyModes and backarrowKey is still unclear. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libutempter0 1.1.5-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.12-2+b1 ii libxft2 2.3.2-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.11-1+b1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1+b1 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+2 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information
