Hi there, I am a vim user and I am loving to press <C-H> instead of 'Backspace' to delete one character forward, since pressing <C-H> does not require your right hand leaving the position. Although this <C-H> magic works in most terminal application and gvim, however, for other GUI applications under X, <C-H> is explained in different ways, for example, firefox has <C-H> for "History window".
I just wonder how can I map <C-H> to Backspace under X by using xmodmap? I read some xmodmap documents, and tried the following statements in my ~/.Xmodmap, but it does not work: *keysym Control_L = Control_L Mode_switch keycode 43 = h H Backspace * I also tried *keysym Control_L = Mode_switch keycode 43 = h H Backspace* This time <C-H> works as 'Backspace' in my X desktop, but I can't use left control key as 'control' any more, and that definitely is not what I want. The X keyboard setting document seems to be too complicated to me, is there anybody knows whether the mapping I want is possible? Thank you very much. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
