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 Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
