Make sure the following is present in your /etc/X11/Xresources: *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta <Key>Delete: delete-next-character() XTerm*termName: xterm-debian *VT100*backarrowKey: false *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\ <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\ <Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\ <Key>End: string("\033OF") I don't like introducing xterm-debian terminfo entry myself and just renamed it to xterm.
