Getting backspace to work remotely in aterm

Wednesday, February 04 2004, 6:18 PM

I just started playing around with aterm a bit, and I noticed I kept getting nastiness when I used vi on a remote system... lots of ^? characters when I pressed the backspace key. I found a workaround that seems to take care of it... Just add the following to your ~/Xdefaults file:

aterm*backspacekey:^H

That should take care of it, but your mileage may vary.
