search for: backspacing

Hi All, I'm not very good with Vim. I noticed when it is in INSERT Mode, the backspace key no longer works. How to do I configure it so that it will work with the backspace key? Any ideas? Thanks Mary

Maybe it was always sending Delete and I didn't notice it, but I have had the following in my .tcshrc file for ages (without realizing it): bindkey -b ^? i-search-back Before the update to 4.4, hitting the backspace key at the shell prompt deleted the previous character. Now it activates the search backwards function as instructed to do so by the bindkey directive. The

Howdy! I have a problem that's similar to one discussed earlier on the list: When not in xterm all the backspace and cursor-movements and stuff are working well. Only when I start R in an xterm window backspace appears as ^H and so on. What can I do?

I'm using Rcmdr version 1.4-10 with R version 2.9.0 under Vista x64. A standard editing convention under Windows is that alt+backspace is a keyboard shortcut for "undo". I often find myself hitting the [alt] and [backspace] keys while editing scripts in Rcmdr. However, this causes the Rcmdr GUI to go into a crazy mode where the menu keeps flashing and the GUI is unresponsive.

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

Hi, when mixing newline and backspace characters I get the following output (see below). In the second call, the backspace character is simply not applied. Is this normal behaviour? Thank you. > cat("abc\b") ab> cat("abc\b\n") abc > [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Interesting. Not what I expected. This is Ruby 1.8.6. > irb irb(main):001:0> str = "abx\bc" => "abx\bc" irb(main):002:0> str.length => 5 irb(main):003:0> s = str.sub(/.\b/, '''') => "ab\bc" irb(main):004:0> s.length => 4 irb(main):005:0> s = str.sub(/.\x08/, '''') => "abc"

I am using sftp which comes with OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 I noticed backspace is not working. Couild someone tell me if this is fixed in a newer package please? Also, would it be possible for sftp --version to be implemented? also sftp --V. Likewise ssh --version is not implemented either. None of the flags are listed when i type ssh --help, or sftp --help

When I am running R, the backspace key deletes the whole word instead of one character. Before I start R, and after I exit R, the backspace key works as it should in my xterm terminal window. This gets really annoying since I make a lot of mistakes while typing and don't always want to retype the whole word. This behavior only occurs while running R. Any ideas on how to fix this. Setup: R

While in centos3, using vim and clicking the backspace I see the ^? character instead of it actually deleteing the previous character. In centos4 this was not a problem. I have rad about remapping keys and such, but can someone tell me what the difference between centos4 and centos3 is so I can make the change to make it work on centos3.

I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide. It works for my user to login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want. I do have a problem I cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type. I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in /etc/inputrc on login but if

Hi, My Delete key does not work anymore in gnome-terminal. I have a keyboardless server, so I think this may be the problem. When I press the Delete key, I get the ~ caracter printed. I deleted all the ~/.g* files, in order to have a clean and default gnome installation but still, no luck. This is my locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO-8859-1"

Well, I decided to get ROSH back out and try to get it functioning in Syslinux-4. As has been my habit, I first recompiled the Linux binary and tried it out. In the beginning of ROSH, it calls console_ansi_std(). When I was working on this in the past, using this function ensured both the Linux and the Syslinux/COM32 binaries function similarly. When using fgets() to get an input string in the

Believe it or not, wine runs the Install Shield program perfectly when installing Lotus Notes. However, when creating mail, after I type one letter (doesn't matter what it is) every letter after it dissappears until you hit backspace, delete, or click the mouse in the window. This is annoying as some of us *like* to see what we're typing in an email :-) I'm Running RedHat 6.2 and the

I noticed an odd side effect of the different implementations of backspace (erase) through clients such as PuTTY and SecureCRT and the input functions like fgets (I noticed this originally in ssh-keygen). On our AIX system, if the option to use ^? as the backspace key is chosen, fgets will actually put the control code for 'DEL' in the buffer (0x7f) instead of deleting the last character
