After upgrading from 1.3 to 2.0 my system decided to ignore <-- in an xterm,
netscape, but work on the console, emacs, etc.
Since I have seen this better on other systems, I though I should read the
keyboard policy, to find out what is wrong. I found a section in the
debian-policy package. Great!
Let's see what it says:
The following list explains how the different programs should be set up to
achieve this:
`<--' generates KB_Backspace in X.
`Delete' generates KB_Delete in X.
KB_Backspace, what is this? Where is this done? I want to check if this is done
on my system. Why can't you write
`<--' generates KB_Backspace in X (archived by the entry XXX in file
YYY).
Ok. Let's try to figure out with xkeycaps, what is bound to <--. Ah, it is
Delete!!! Then change is to KB_Backspace. There is no KB_Backspace:-( Then try
simply Backspace! This does not change anything!
That is all for me. The policy is not understandable for non-experts and the
system is not working as it should.
Could anybody guess what is wrong on my system or translate the policy from
this expert slang? Thank you.
