Sorry, correction. I mis-reported on ksh. Here are my results:
Delete key
| | xterm | xterm | st | st |
| | rmkx | smkx | rmkx | smkx |
|------+-------+-------+-------+-------|
| zsh | works | works | works | works |
|------+-------+-------+-------+-------|
| bash | works | works | no-op | works |
| mksh | works | works | no-op | works |
| tcsh | works | works | no-op | works |
|------+-------+-------+-------+-------|
| fish | works | works | '[P' | works |
| ksh | '~' | '~' | '~' | '~' |
The anomaly of '[P' with fish might be fixed in a later version. I am running
fish, version 2.1.2-1256-g64af63b.
