No. In xterm, the Delete key deletes what is behind the cursors. It also does so when I boot into console mode rather than into X.org. But for some reason, it works different in Firefox.

In both xterm and the console, the Delete key is treated as a Backspace key, but for some reason Firefox refuses to do likewise. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 3.0 wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJN8mQQAAoJEKlMTST7VF+o4DcIAKVNTiO+d1ynOBfmkpVyQl6VkFL8 DgVtHcp0i/5KY6pIqYqaET3jcpTSJIFMCqtc9wr+W4jQziQbggzJDhIKU05W1Q4zTfTJ YDRFq2ZySMTCQ915T1wQJDy9xdCJ5jceZ+1xoilGXogaS/DBmmogCYzp5GC3JcVkc59y wepMoezs6uqyG1j7cxLLm9/e+XKR5XivoPeeAk+LfxHt0WSQxqZV0XKh/x9R5I+ljTch 76zrVYaIG16ZERVG9jApyxVAy9W2b/vUZRdJH5+9emwYTKjA9MbOQVonBJwpcIuG6boo 6zgeVBAZ6aaQp7rbIaW4645ZNcLdiNryK6mLClhY8Pw= =6gCU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
