I notice that with the default vt220 console (on an amd64 system) and the default ksh, the Delete key produces the character ^[[3~, which doesn't have a key binding by default. It's easy enough to bind it to delete-char-forward, which makes the key work as I'd expect, but is there a reason why this isn't done by default?
Also, in the base xterm, Delete produces ^? (the same as Backspace) instead of ^[[3~. This can be fixed by setting XTerm*deleteIsDEL:false in .Xdefaults, but again, I'm wondering if there's a reason why it's not set that way out of the box. For all I know, it "fixes" things from my point of view but "breaks" them from someone else's perspective... Thanks, -- Joe Gidi j...@entropicblur.com "You cannot buy skill." -- Ross Seyfried
