Hi,
How do you set konsole to make the <del> key delete forward? Mine just produces a '~'.
Thanks! |

try this line in your ~/.inputrc file:
#######################
"\M-[3~": delete-char
####################### |

Thanks a lot. I've also discovered that the problem disapeared when I removed my ~/.inputrc. (because it overruled /etc/inputrc) This might be a good thing to know, because /etc/inputrc has a lot of other goodies too.
.. sorry for bumping this thread after 2 weeks..

Thanks a lot, this solved my problem as well.
I had just created an .inputrc file to disable the bell, but after this had the same problem with the DEL key.
file now looks like:
| Code: | # ~/.inputrc
"\M-[3~": delete-char
set bell-style none

Another (nicer ?) way to solve the problem is to have this in your .inputrc:
| Code: |
$include /etc/inputrc
# Your personal settings goes here
set completion-ignore-case on

Putting this in my .tcshrc (or .cshrc if you use csh)
| Code: | if ($term == "xterm" || $term == "vt100" \
|| $term == "vt102" || $term !~ "con*") then
# bind keypad keys for console, vt100, vt102, xterm
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line # Home
bindkey "\e[7~" beginning-of-line # Home rxvt
bindkey "\e[2~" overwrite-mode # Ins
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char # Delete
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line # End
bindkey "\e[8~" end-of-line # End rxvt
endif
|
Of course the only relevant part is the Delete line.
Because the DEL key has always worked properly for me as root which on my system uses Bash (with identical stty -a settings, and a common /etc/inputrc (no ~/.inputrc) ), perhaps some Gentoo [t]csh initialization messes it up. |
