Terminal Backspace

Craig A. Sharp — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 09:15:52 GMT

I need to set my backspace key to work on hp telnet sessions. I used to have the entry but since cannot find it.
Currently it is set to ^h but I want to use backspace.

Thanks,

Craig

Try this:

stty erase ^?

The ^? you will get by pressing the backspace key.

Hi Craig,
See man stty to set.

# stty erase

This will set Backspace to backspace, i mean it will move backwards deleting the characters if any.
