>Organization:
none
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD erudite.lostlogicx.com 8.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p2 #1: Mon Jan 10 20:27:03 PST 2011 root@erudite.lostlogicx.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

>Description:
Due to the patch file /usr/ports/sysutils/tmux/files/patch-tty-keys.c the backspace key does not work in <C-b>: mode (tmux command mode).

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/tmux
make clean install
tmux
<C-b>:
type anything, then try to backspace

>Fix:
For me, removing the file /usr/ports/sysutils/tmux/files/patch-tty-keys.c and running make uninstall; make clean install on tmux fixed the problem for me, but I don't know why the patch existed in the first place, I can only assume that its existance was to fix a bug for another user.
