Unfortunately I turned off the menubar so I will have to figure out
how to turn it back on
Well, I figured that out but still want the backspace to work in
xterm. I tried to put the following in my .xinitrc:
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Delete"
but that caused x to immediately shut down whenever it started.
Interestingly that still happens even if the lines are commented out.
I also tried to put this in my ~/.Xdefaults:
.XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
<Key>Delete: string(0x04)
which is closer, sort of -- it causes both keys to generate ^d (which
does not delete the character under the cursor, as many things I've
seen say it does).
