keyboard settings
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hello all. I am stuggleing to get my keyboard set up to work in X and
on the console consistantly. Basically, I would like the Backspace
key (above enter) to cause the previous character to be erased and the
delete key (to the right of enter) to erase the character under the
cursor. I have read *all* the HOWTOs and FAQs and am having trouble
making things work the way they said that they would. Specifically I
am having trouble with GNU emacs in X. I have trouble getting emacs
in X to see the difference between BackSpace and Delete. I have tried
using xmodmap to set keycode 22 = BackSpace and keycode 107 = Delete,
but emacs still says they are the same key.
Basically, all I want is to have the two keys work independantly.
Whatever solution is found, I wouldn't want it to screw up Motif apps
completely. I guess that means the solution (If there is one, I hope)
is going to be complex. I just want consistancy between the console
and X. I want to be able to use emacs at the console and in X and
have BS and DEL work the same way in both. At the same time, I would
like other apps to work naturally.
Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Erv Walter
