Nope, not right now. I've tried a few things in there that didn't seem to work, so currently I don't use one at all. The latest stuff I did to ~/.Xdefaults (see previous post) did change the behavior of the Backspace key, but overall it's for the worse -- the key used to work fine in vi but now it doesn't, and it's not really working right in bash or cat either. Once I get it working in xterm/bash I'll probably have to go in to each app that I use and tweak the behavior there.
