This problem has been fixed in xbase 3.3.2.2-2 and newer (including the version in stable), by an update of the conffile /etc/X11/Xresources which now has ! Make the delete key generate ^[[3~ instead of ^?, per Debian keyboard policy. ! Make the home and end keys appear to always be in keypad-application mode. ! Include override for BackSpace because older xterms do not understand the ! backarrowKey resource. *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\ <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\ <Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\ <Key>End: string("\033OF") HTH, Ray -- UNFAIR Term applied to advantages enjoyed by other people which we tried to cheat them out of and didn't manage.
