CentOS - Sep 2011 - SSH in and my terminal keystrokes are weird.......

Hi All,

I upgraded to OS X 10.7 on my laptop and when I try to ssh into my servers
and do edits it seems my backspace is now weird. When I backspace it skips
all around, inserts what looks to be special characters, etc. If I save and
go back in the file edited right, but due to all the inserted garbage and
skipping around of the cursor I cant tell at that time if what I did worked.

I dont recall this happening on Snow Leopard at all, but we did also upgrade
to CentOS 6 and I honestly have no idea where this issue would be.

Can anyone provide any thoughts?

Todd

This is something you need to fix on the terminal emulator you're using.
 Apparently the backspace code your terminal is sending now is not the
correct one.  Try to find any option regarding backspace (or type of
terminal) in your terminal emulator.

Meanwhile, while you fix this, you can connect to the server and execute:

stty erase <press-BACKSPACE>

...to get proper backspace.

HTH,
Jorge

The sentiments I expressed to my boss was that I wanted to replace the
Macintosh on my Desk with Linux - no dice he said.

Macintosh key bindings are just weird.

iTerm2 is a better solution (not perfect... just much better than
Terminal.app and fewer time spent in the penalty box for using Mac OS X.
