I am running emacs 20.7-2 and xfree 4.0.2/kde2.1beta2 on a Debian potato system
If I run emacs in a console, or over an ssh link (which appears like a console in an xterm) then BKSP and DEL work according to Debian policy. (ie BKSP deletes character to left of cursor, DEL deletes character at cursor). If I run emacs so that it creates an x-window to run in then the behaviour is different. In this case DEL and BKSP both work the same and delete the character to the left of the cursor). I don't like this latter behaviour and I believe it shouldn't work like this according to the Debian policy. However, I have spent ages trying to find out how key behaviour is controlled here and I can't. Any ideas? Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandler.u-net.com
