Duncan, do you think it's worth to comment this in R-devel list?

Duncan filed a bug report via R bugzilla (thanks).

There is no way to disable this functionality and it has existed for very long time, I tested that at least in R 3.0. Optionally ending the session was I believe intentional with Ctrl+D, when the input is empty, and it is also how Unix terminals work. But ending the session with DEL was probably an implementation compromise and I've changed that in R-devel. Thanks for the report.

More implementation details in the bugzilla report:

Tema: Re: [R] Avoiding Delete key function as 'Quit R' in Rterm when there are 
no characters in cursor line

I don't use term, but I've just tested it and this is reproducable.

Is it a bug? Not sure. If you hit c after getting the message it will cancel 
the q() request.

That looks to me like a bug, but I don't use Windows any more, so I
won't offer to try to fix it for you.  In fact I don't think Rterm has
many users at all:  most Windows users probably use RStudio or one of
the other graphical front ends (Visual Studio, Emacs, Rgui, etc.)

So maybe you can track down the issue, or someone else will try.  Or
maybe you'll just have to avoid triggering the bug (if it really is one).

Hi all,

I cite from README.Rterm

^D, DEL     : Delete the character under the cursor.

That is the general behaviour, but when there is no character (neither under 
the cursor nor at its left), pressing the Delete key suggests closing the R 
terminal. Is there any (configurable) way to avoid this behaviour?
Are you talking about rterm in Windows, or which front end?
