Re: Backspace and delete

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@miriam.fuller.edu>]

I am sure that emacs can program the keyboard to its liking. There is no need to
impose a standard on the rest of the world just because of emacs.

But I am not sure that Ian meant to proscribe Backspace -> DEL. Seems to me that he
wants an app to respect the "stty erase" setting. I think that is a wise thing
to do considering that Backspace -> DEL is hardwired in the linux kernel by Linus.

The trouble is that we have to probably make some apps adapt to "stty erase" instead
of having a compiled in setting.
