backspace not working right
I'm running lyx-1.1.2 on NetBSD, using the NetBSD package system. In the main editing window, backspace is giving me forward-delete (as is delete), rather than back-delete. I've read the list archives, used xev and found I can send both backspace and delete codes, and noticed that in the file save window (save as), backspace does the right thing. It's just in the main window it's wrong. I think something's wrong with how the key bindings are set up, but I'm not sure how to debug. Thoughts? Take care, Bill
Re: backspace not working right
You did not mention which hardware you have (NetBSD runs on lots of architectures) but supposing you have an PC-syatem, yo can try xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" Check to see if there is a fine named /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap Casantos -- Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.
