Re: Map Backspace to ASCII DEL?

Wow, go figure, it does run in a native window. That is pretty darn
cool. Well, so far so good. I've got the keys mapped the way I want
them. I like the way Cut/Copy/Paste works. I like that selections
are line by line, as opposed to rectangular. Scroll wheel works. So
far no problem with full screen apps such as emacs and less.
Yes very cool. I use it all the time. Here's another tip: Instead of
wildly long invocation lines use ~/.Xdefaults to specify things that are
common and possibly to create term "types" then use rxvt -name... For
example, instead of
$ rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-*-15" -sl 500 -backspacekey ^? -deletekey ^? \

You can just do rxvt for your default rxvt. If you want different colors
(or other things) then you can use rxvt -name hostb or rxvt -name hostc,
etc, given the following ~/.XDefaults file. This allows you to keep all
your terminal "types" or "schemes" neatly defined in one place.
! Rxvt defaults
! Global Settings
*font: "Lucida Console-*-15"
*saveLines: 500
*termName: cygwin
*scrollBar_right: True
*geometry: 80x24
*loginShell: True
*backspacekey: ^?
*deletekey: ^h
! Default color "scheme" (when no -name is used):
Rxvt.background: #0000aaaaffff
Rxvt.foreground: White
Rxvt.colorBD: Blue
Rxvt.colorUL: Red
Rxvt.cursorColor: Red
! Color scheme for hostb
hostb.background: Slateblue
hostb.foreground: White
hostb.colorBD: Yellow
hostb.colorUL: Red
hostb.cursorColor: Yellow
! Color scheme for hostc
hostc.background: Black
hostc.foreground: White
hostc.colorBD: Green
hostc.colorUL: Orang
hostc.cursorColor: Cyan
