</div>No argument, but that's not the particular abomination he was having issues<br>
with. He seemed to want it to act like a Windows/Dos Delete key, not a SCO<br>

I have -always- disagreed with the decision for the 'linux'<br>
termcap/terminfo setting of IBM's "Erase" with the ^[[3~ sequence. And<br>
every blessed person on the kernel dev scene with whom I brought it up<br>
disagreed with me, as they claim to have gone with the strict DEC<br>
definition of vt100, rather than what later became convention.<br>

The default linux keymap hasn't changed for US-QWERTY in 20 years. It's<br>
probably never going to.<br>
