Re: Re: The backspace key can only move forward and cannot delete characters

[高剑平]

hello :

          

1. Find out what key sequence your backspace key emits. This is terminal-

    specific, but you might be able to find it in your terminal app's

    settings. Let's say it's \033[3~

I modified the code like this

   

2. Bind that sequence to the desired command in ~/.inputrc

"\033[3~":backward-delete-char

 I modified the/etc/inputrc file

  

But the problem has not been solved.

thanks

This is backward; it sounds like you want to bind it to backward-delete-char.
