Sirs:
I have tried all the usual tricks to get Backspace to work in Xterm.
in .xinitrc xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace'
xmodmap <<-EOF keycode 22 = Backspace osfBackSpace keycode 107 = Delete EOF
in .Xresources XTterm*ttyModes: erase ^? kill ^U intr ^C auit ^\ eof ^D \ susp ^Z start ^Q stop ^S elo ^@ note: ^H does work.
I have NOT tried to change anything (yet) in app-defaults/XTerm as my German is not good enough to figure out the comments on BackSpace.
The above are all from the HOWTO and do not work. Could you please advise how someone with a us keyboard get the BacksSpace to function in an X XTerm. I have it working fine in the console.
I do have an US keyboard (I do not like the german layout) and all keys work as expected after a fresh install. Maybe you updated your system and have some old config files around which redefine the keys? Are you having the same problem with a sample user? Maybe you have an old .inputrc or something else? Are other programs affected or only xterm?
Thanks
