Hello,
I just gave a test-drive to sup. So far it looks absolutely great -- two
thumbs up to the authors!
I'm having one trivial problem though -- my backspace key doesn't work
in all entry fields (del works). It's been a while since I fixed
del/backspace issues in linux... any help/hints/config switch?
I'm running:
[Tue Feb 12 00:56:17 +0100 2008] using character set encoding "utf8"
sup v0.4
...installed via gems. My terminal standard gnome-terminal.
Thanks in advance,
--
Michael

I do not use the gnome-terminal, but in my case the working string for
backspace in sup is ^h, while my terminals (all rxvt derivatives) sent
^? by default. From the large literature about the topic, I think that
other terminal settings could adjust the behaviour also with ^?, but
setting ^h has no negative side effect for me. So look in the
configuration of gnome-terminal for something like backspaceKey or
string...

I had the same issue, as a workaround hitting CTRL-BACKSPACE worked for me.
However I've made up an ugly change to handle this, perhaps it can help you.

Thanks,
that worked for me (^h). Actually gnome terminal has a special
configuration in the "compatibility section" that allows you to choose
what is sent for backspace.
However, I belive this is a bit of a workaround. I haven't noticed
anything breaking with ^h except... sup-config. Where, again,
backspace doesn't work with ^h on.

Ugly? It's beautiful! And now in master and next.
