Are you sure you did it in Console mode?
Well, I thought I had. But I just tried it, and it worked. Checking
my bash history, yes I did run vim in gnome-terminal; the plot
thickens.
If I run vim, and type your
:set t_kb="\x7F"
I never did that.
What didn't work for me was
:let &t_kb = "\x7F"
which I used precisely because :let (unlike :set) does the double quoted
string thing;
what did work was
:exe 'set t_kb=' . "\x7F"
which is usable in a script, and uses a double quoted string, but
otherwise is equivalent to
:set t_kb=^?
where ^? is entered by Ctrl-V followed by x7F (or by Ctrl-? but not if
you know only the hex code, or if you don't know how to produce it with
your national keyboard)
then try
:set t_kb
I get E518. The set does not do the double quoted string thing, so I
effectively unset it as if I'd typed
:set t_kb=
and it became an undefined option. Experimenting, one can set any
option of the form t_xy for any x and y that I tried, including non-
printable characters. F. ex.
:set t_^A^B=tony
and unset them by setting them empty. So there's a bunch of special
handling for terminal options. Whether it's worth documenting, I'm
not sure, though your original use seems a valid one.
