Very Computer

I've got a really anoying problem in X-Windows.  Whenever I hit delete
is does what backspace is supposed to do!  Is this normal?  Also in all
the X editors I have whenever I hit end or home is goes to the end or
start of the document not the line.  Can this be changed or is it
probably hard-coded into the editor?

        Jeff, try reading this, to see how it matches your situation:

I simply made the Backspace send a ^H in the keymap I load at boottime.
This works great in X. To make it work in the text-consoles as well you
have to make modifications to some other files, I don't remember exactly
where because it's been some time since I did it.

Maybe there is a similar problem for your keymap (BTW, it's supposed to be
in /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps, but I like to have the right keymap when I boot in
single user and don't have /usr mounted :-)

Best,
Marc
