I get bitten : all the time when I leave bash for another interactive program that no : longer provides BS/DEL compatibility. Fixing it everywhere is a good : idea. I see that this has already been committed. I'm not going to argue with that (I think it was a good idea), but there are other issues in the tree. The issue that I have is that there are many places in the tree where the erase character is known and things are done based on it. Will all of those be updated to have the two aces? There's a hack in hack right now: ./games/hack/hack.tty.c: if(c == erase_char || c == '\b') { as well as other examples in the tree. Talk also has a provision for transporting these characters over the interface. If both were allowed, some translation would also be needed.
