I've looked at the Konsole configuration settings. I would like to be able to have a backspace delete, rather than its default setting. These settings occur with the Gnome terminal. How do I configure in Konsole?

Ok, according the the xmodmap man page, it looks like you need to run


xmodmap -e "keysym BackSpace = Delete"
echo "XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?" | xrdb -merge


I'm not sure if that's all you have to do or not, so tell me how it goes.

I am going to keep this, but I reset in Konsole by making the term type a vt100. When I get a chance, I'll put it back to a linux term and try this command.

Many thanks.
