When I run
echo "123$(tput kbs)456"
I get
12456
apparently because "tput kbs" puts out some kind of backspace to
the shell.
I suspect that you need to read your shell's discussions of command line
processing. Run "bind" (a shell built-in) and grep it's output for
"del" and "back". You should ensure that you've got your shell using
Emacs-style line editing.
Better yet, use the Control-D key for delete (the Emacs-style default)
and redefine the Delete keys for things you need less often. :-)
Note that the key interpretation can be changed in an application (eg,
your shell), xterm X resources, termcap (?), your window manager config,
and in the X key config (in increasing precedence, I hope).
To take full advantage of your Internet/multimedia keyboard, you might
want to look into:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/
/usr/X11R6/man/man1/*xkb*
