When connecting to a switch, the backspace key cannot take effect directly, you need to press Shift to use it.

need a configuration supporting Backspace sends ^H.

[tmalaher]

I agree with @cloud-yu

For example: putty has a setting allowing you to choose whether the backspace key sends DEL (0x7f) or Backspace (^H 0x08)

I'm patiently waiting for this open too.

For most things I do in the terminal, backspace and delete work just fine, but 1 editor that I have to use for work, when I press 'delete', it puts a '~' in, and when I press 'backspace', it deletes the letter to the right not the left.

In MobaXterm, I can press 'backspace' to delete the letter to the left, and if I press 'shift+backspace' or 'ctrl+backspace' it will delete the letter to the right.

Really hoping re-mapping backspace to ^H like you can in Putty, etc... becomes a thing.

Otherwise, this has allowed me to move off of both MobaXterm and CryptoTerm (it does a better job than MobaXterm in pretty much everything except ^H support for backspace, and it does a better job than CryptoTerm for WYSE60 stuff).

when telnet to switch/router the 'backspace' can't delete any, i must use ctr+H ,how to use backspace as usual?

[Java-q]

Temporary solutions 1、Use Ctrl-H to go backward 2, use the left cursor key to move forward, and then Backspace to automatically delete backward

Hope to improve this problem
