Hello, I just gave a test-drive to sup. So far it looks absolutely great -- two thumbs up to the authors! I''m having one trivial problem though -- my backspace key doesn''t work in all entry fields (del works). It''s been a while since I fixed del/backspace issues in linux... any help/hints/config switch? I''m running: [Tue Feb 12 00:56:17 +0100 2008] using character set encoding "utf8" sup v0.4 ...installed via gems. My terminal standard gnome-terminal. Thanks in advance, -- Michael

From the large literature about the topic, I think that other terminal settings could adjust the behaviour also with ^?, but setting ^h has no negative side effect for me. So look in the configuration of gnome-terminal for something like backspaceKey or string... -- Giorgio Lando <patroclo7 at gmail dot com>

However I''ve made up an ugly change to handle this, perhaps it can help you. -- Nicolas Pouillard aka Ertai -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Actually gnome terminal has a special configuration in the "compatibility section" that allows you to choose what is sent for backspace. However, I belive this is a bit of a workaround. I haven''t noticed anything breaking with ^h except... sup-config. Where, again, backspace doesn''t work with ^h on. -- Michael.
