I found a workaround per a comment above. I'm using gnome-terminal, and on some systems I use, 'screen' produces a beep/bell when I hit 'backspace'.
in ~/.screenrc: bindkey -d ^? stuff ^H bindkey -d ^@ stuff ^H It now behaves as expected. -- Backspace key in GNU Screen not detected correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
