In installing RedHat 8.0, I can bind the DEL key to Remove (delete current character and move right) rather than BACKSPACE (delete with a left move of cursor) in emacs and elsewhere, but I've a real problem with gnome-terminal.
Showkey indicates that my DEL key code is 111, and keycode tells me it is bound to "Remove" by default. That's what I want. But gnome-terminal apparently overrides the default. When I enter its Edit Profile, Compatibility page, by default it has bound the DEL key to ASCII-DEL (same as BACKSPACE). It offers two other options, either to bind it to Escape Sequence or to Control-H. Would a statement in ~/.Xdefaults serve to override this set of options? If so, would the statement be something like: gnome-terminal.keycode 111: Delete I'm only guessing here. Probably mixing apples and oranges.
