Options.conf is not used as much as some people might think :-) >Change it to 8 (the ASCII code for [BACKSPACE]). Reboot. > >This should be filed as an RFE. Casper? Why? Delete is the proper key to use for doing a step back; this ain't PC land where they confused DEL (destructive) and Backspace (non destructive) with Backspace (delete left) and DEL (delete under). I *never* want to delete what is to the right of the cursor. I think this should be solved with "ubiquitous commandline editing"; not randomly changing a default which may upset some. (Just to spite the world I make a point of remapping Del and Backspace on my keyboards) All tools with a command line should support command line editing. And the whole DEL/Backspace thing is just a commandline editing thing and those can just make DEL and Backspace do the same thing. Of course, the UNIX tty disciplines are broken in that you'd rather have a mapping of each character to a specific function and not a list of special functions with associated characters.
