FWIW, I'm using 3.3.2.3a-1, here is my Xresources.dpkg-dist: =================================== ! /etc/X11/Xresources ! ! global Xresources file -- used by both xdm and xinit (startx) ! Fix Motif client handling of backspace/delete; this is not supposed to be ! necessary anymore so it is commented out. ! *XmText.translations: #override\n\ ! <Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character() ! *XmTextField.translations: #override\n\ ! <Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character() ! Fix Xaw (Athena widget set) programs to understand the delete key *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta <Key>Delete: delete-next-character() ! Uncomment the following lines to make xterm appear much like a virtual ! console, so that ANSI colors will make more sense. ! XTerm*background: black ! XTerm*foreground: gray90 ! Make XTerm use Debian's customized terminfo entry. XTerm*termName: xterm-debian ! Make the backspace key generate ^? instead of ^H, per Debian keyboard policy. *VT100*backarrowKey: false ! 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") =================================== -- Ed C.
