Konsole returns ~

gbowden · 11-18-2006, 09:28 AM

When I press the DEL key on my keyboard on the konsole ~ is shown instead of deleteing charaters.

In all other programs the DEL key works correctly.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Can you post the output of:

stty -a
echo $TERM

Hope that helps.

Hmmm ... that looks right to me. Is your backspace key also working correctly? Having erase set to ^? I supposed to make sure both backspace and delete work, or so I thought. Are you using any custom keymappings in X?

My backspace key in working correctly. I'm using no custom x keymappings either.

xev reports that my Delete key is assigned a keycode of 107 and xmodmap -pk reports:

Code:

    104         0xff54 (Down)
    105         0xff56 (Next)
    106         0xff63 (Insert)
    107         0xffff (Delete)

I am using a Spanish keyboard with:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection

in my xorg.conf file.

Any help would be appreciated.
