Add keysym Delete = 0x04 to ~/.xmodmaprc and add xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc to ~/.xinitrc To implement this in a running X session type this in an xterm xmodmap -e keysym Delete = 0x04 Actually, this is probably a better solution for the OP as it is global whereas my previous suggestion is xterm specific. The only problem is that if you keep the delete key pressed to long it exits the terminal. At least when xmodmap typed under kde's konsole; it acts this way both in for konsole and xterm. Only if the cursor is in the first character position after the prompt of course. Not sure what the solution is since Ctrl-D is delete char to the right of the cursor and EOT, which exits the shell.

There's always some sort of option to ignore EOF's in interactive mode, like IGNOREEOF=10 in GNU bash, `set ignoreeof=10' in tcsh, or `set -I' in FreeBSD's sh(1). Setting this might avoid unexpected shell termination by hitting DEL :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xterm produces the standard ANSI sequence ^[[3~ as it should and this is encoded in termcap for xterm as delete character. And this will work as expected for many applications working within an xterm window. The problem comes about that the shell does not honour this termcap entry. Don't fool with xmodmap; it will work against you in applications -- just bind the key sequence in your shell (tcsh?) $ bindkey ^[[3~ delete-char I guess it would not be too difficult to extract the correct string from termcap so that it worked for all (most) terminals but most now use the standard ANSI sequences so it is probably not worth the effort.

RE: backspace and delete keys behavior
I've got the same thing on the 2 machines i am experimenting with. I am new and thought it was a standard feature :) I also defined a standard US 101 keyboard. Makes me think there is a setting or choice at installation that deals with this, rather than having to patch something. I counted my keys - there are 101. It looks as much like a standard US keyboard as anything else I have. My XF86Config file section for the keyboard contains Identifier Keyboard0 Driver keyboard option XkbModel pc101 option XkbLayout us Could someone who this does not happen to tell me what is different in their file.
