I found that Debian/XFree86/whoever by default maps both the BS and Del
keys to <Delete>, which is irritating with Netscape and when logging in on
other computers.
Netscape's problems are partially solved by overriding the <Delete> key
function to <Backspace> in /etc/X11/Xresources.. however, still sending a
<Delete> when I want <Backspace> to go over the line...
In my /etc/X11/Xmodmap, I have: (last two lines are new)
! /etc/X11/Xmodmap
!
! This is the global Xmodmap file. It is used by both xdm and xinit.
keycode 107 = 0xffff
keycode 22 = 0xff08
Thanks to the dosemu Makefile for those.
I also commented out the <Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()
overrides in /etc/X11/Xresources.
This makes Backspace insert ^H and Delete ^? - only caveat is that now,
just as I was used to do when sitting behind a Sun, I have to hit Delete
if I make a typo in a search in more (/ key) instead of Backspace - but
Netscape works, and Pine too... (using compose-maps-delete-key-to-ctrl-d
or something)
I hope this helps,
Niels
