WebTerm X 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.
Simply remapping using keysym instead of keycodes
xmodmap -e "keysym BackSpace = Delete"
Another method is echo "Xterm*ttyModes erase ^?" | xrdb -merge
Or I possibly, stty erase = delete
