my del button gives a ~

philfighter · 08-21-2001, 09:54 AM

when i use konsole with kde... i press the del button and i always get a ~... how do i make it delete?

also: the delete button works fine in the regular text only mono terminal and with editors and web browsers...

Well, all I can say is certain programs use delete and and some don't, and that's that. Unless some one wants to prove me wrong.

Hi
This could be a variation on the backspace key/delete problem (check www.linuxnewbie.org theres a backspace nhf there, which didn't help me!).
I was going to look at xkeycaps

http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/

but things sorted themselves out (just can't backspace on login).
