Well, Jim said that on his system, the key named "backspace" (or with a leftward arrow) on his keyboard sends the DEL character. But this character is normally recognized by ncurses as the <BackSpace> key, not the <Delete> key. Moreover, Jim also said that the Delete key of his keyboard sends ^H (instead of the usual escape sequence). So I suspect that Jim will never get the curses <Delete> in Mutt, and the change won't affect him. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
