Hi guys, I am new to Freebsd (after years of linux) and, althought system installation and configuration was quite seamlessly, I've an issue with the delete key of my keyboard (101 keys us layout): In xterm, the backspace key works ok, but when I press del, it prints the "~" character, instead of deleting . I have read it has something to do with keyboard layout config, but I couldn't find out how to fix it. So, any ideas?

Thanks, (and forgive my poor english)


Add this to ~/.Xdefaults

XTerm*vt100.translations: #override \n\
       <Key>Delete: string(0x04) \n

which maps Ctrl-D to the DEL key, then run

% xrdb < ~/.Xdefaults

to implement it (in the current X session).

Note that this won't change the behaviour in the current xterm, but will in any new ones you open.
