Hi all,

I would like to use the forward delete key (second one below the F14 key on the white keyboard) in the Terminal. When I press it now I get a tilde (~).

I know I can use Ctrl+D, but still...

Any pointers?

Many thanks in advance,
_nmk

Go into the Window Settings menu, and select the "Keyboard" item from the pulldown menu. You can then program the del key to emit a ctrl-D character. Voila, forward delete!

A downside of this is that if you hit the del key at the prompt where there's no text to delete, the shell will interpret this as "logout".

Strange, it doesn't do that to me.

It does for me. Pressing del at an empty prompt now logs me out.

Otherwise it works. I´m still open to other ideas though. :-)

Of course, you could view the logout action as a "feature".
