Is backspace supposed to be 0x08 or 0x7f?
- gte910h 15y agoWhy is this important? I don't see the significance.
- freedrull 15y agoOne of the posts mentions: "Most of the Linux distributions make changes as needed to make the terminal emulators send ^? for "backspace", while almost everyone else uses ^H. They should also modify the terminfo entries in ncurses, but not all of the Linux distributions do _that_." Almost every ncurses program I've seen seems to hack around this by checking for the ncurses definition of KEY_BACKSPACE as well as 0x7f.
- teilo 15y agoThis is elementary TERMINFO stuff. Nothing significant about this at all.
