Problems with the BACKSPACE key on Solaris or AIX
Posted by John Paul van Helvoort on July 8, 2009
Every ran into the problem that the BACKSPACE key does not work ?
Instead you will get “^?” or “^h” on the screen when BACKSPACE is used.
^? will be returned on ksh shell and ^h will be returned when using a bash shell
When you want to lose this behaviour in your session you could execute the following command :
stty erase [BACKSPACE]
After this the BACKSPACE works again ! After logout the setting is gone and should be executed again.
