Thanks for the tips. I have a hunch this is some basic thing that was changed with the update mentioned in OP, so a little reluctanct to start fussing with settings that have been good for over a year. Heres a small example of the problems that arise when you do: I put this in .bashrc now to set erase = ^?: stty erase ^? seems innoucuous enough and does fix the behaviour in vim. But unexpected things result, for example, when ssh into my own box from a remote using scp to move files I get this now: stty: standard input: Invalid argument So I fix bashrc with: if [ ! "SSH_TTY" ];then stty erase ^? fi And away we go, who knows what other unexpected things will crop up. Also while setting stty erase ^? fixed that perticualr thing. At the command line (in xterm) I used to be able to delete with delete key too. Now I just get tildes (~~~~~~) One can see the keysym that is being sent by typing: cat <ENTER> Then the key you want to know about. Here I get `^[[3~' by typeing <DEL>, but don't know what it was prior to updating. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
