Okay, I know this isn't a "solution" per say, and it may not help many of you, but hopefully it helps at least 1 of you. Simplest solution given (which may work here) is to use: bash$ export TERM=gnome Immediate solutions, but certainly you may find the explanations given Left (←) on the Backspace key, then this paper will not give you Spite of the fact that most keyboards feature an arrow pointing to the If you think that the function of the two keys should be exchanged, in Key should delete the character under the cursor, without moving it.
