As Michael Elbel wrote: > > Amen. Now who's going to change CERASE from 0177 to 010? I hope nobody. Remember that syscons is not the only console driver, but it has been the only one that ever _used_ ^H for this key. I promised to not jump in again (publically) into this discussion, and i didn't by now, since i thought: ``Let them do. You won't be affected, since you don't use syscons yourself except for some install disk.'' But now this is going to change... Hell, i never even _misssed_ that f*cking backspace character, all my environments everywhere use ^? as delete character. I'm absolutely unwilling to move this back now (too much effort for the sake of some purists). What are we going to do if the next architecture FreeBSD is ported to would use <ESC> as the default erase character of their `native' o/s? Are we going to change our ttydefaults CERASE to 033 then??? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
