I'm glad you've brought this up. Since forever, I've been a satisfied pccons user, with one infuriating exception. Every time I get a new version of FreeBSD, I have to find, edit, and recompile some dumb file in pccons to make it generate an ASCII BS (Backspace, ^H, \010, 0x08, whatever) for the key labeled (guess what) Backspace! Please don't continue this idiocy! Honesty and simplicity are the best policies! Keys labeled "Backspace" should generate (guess what) Backspace!home | help
