Very Computer

Long story short. I have read everything, that is everything I can find.
I can make things work fine in Console Mode (which is almost always
possible).

I use the  Delete key (the one near the Enter key)  as the  Interrupt Key
(i.e. same same  Control C)  in other words I  execute

stty erase ^H
stty intr ^?

keycode 14 set to  delete
keycode 111 set to backspace

\e[3~   in  .inputrc

etc. etc.
this all works fine in  Console Mode but in X another story.

Once in X   I exec the following

xmodmap ...    to swap  Delete and BackSpace  Keys

then

stty erase ^H
stty intr ^?

bind -f  .inputrc

.inputrc contains same as above

also I am trying to  do  Vi  editing mode in Bash and  things work
somewhat, after the above commands (backspace works,  delete issues
interrups ok, but  ESC  does not work.
 but  when I exec
set -o vi
and hit  ESC  and then  minus key to move
back in the Hist buffer   I  get a beep  (i.e.  the  Esc is recognized
but the  minus  is not) appears to be in   Emacs  editing mode
because  Control R  works just fine.
Also the  Backspace Key no longer work, but acts like it is not
defined.

bind -v
says  vi-editing-mode

etc.  etc.

what have I left out. Cannot find the common thread to make all things work
what I want is:

backspace to  delete last character typed
delete key  to  send whatever will issue the  interrupt sequence
Vi editing mode under bash both in Console and X windows mode.

If I have left out any info then let me know.
I know it is unusual to use the  Delete key to function as the Normal
Default  Control C  sequence does but that is what I want.

If there is some paper I haven't read  then point me to it actually I would
prefer that I figure it out myself as that is a better way to learn.

Thanks

Interestingly enough I discovered the problem while thinking about
it on the way home from work this PM.
