eXodus Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set the function of the delete key to the backspace key?
There are several ways to change the delete key to the backspace key by using the X application xmodmap. First log into the host with an xterm or an XDM session then try the below xmodmap commands to re-map your backspace key or to create a text file ".Xkeyboard" which you can then edit with any text editor.
Creating a .Xkeyboard mapping of keysyms and keycodes:
xmodmap -pke > .Xkeyboard
This will then map all the keysyms and keycodes to the file .Xkeyboard in your home directory allowing you to remap by editing the file and changing the key symbols therein.
Simply remapping using keysym instead of keycodes:
xmodmap -e "keysym Delete = BackSpace Delete"
Now you can save the settings in eXodus by clicking Settings, then Server Settings. Next click Key mapping. Save the keymap under a name you will recognize.
Another method is echo "Xterm*ttyModes: erase ^?" | xrdb -merge or possibly, stty erase = delete
