Fix the backspace key when using vim via ssh
Authored by: prk on Oct 09, '03 11:32:44AM

I have found that if I set my TERM to "linux" while SSHed into a Linux system, all the keys work correctly. IE: Home, End, PGUP, PGDown, Delete, Backspace, ....

In MacOSX I set my term to "screen" and it mostly works. In Panther it seems to work a lot better.

Fix the backspace key when using vim via ssh

End your delete-should-backspace woes when using Vim remotely with iTerm by adding one simple keyboard mapping. Go to iTerm preferences, Profiles, Keyboard, choose Profile=Global, add this mapping...

Key: delete
Action: send hex code
Hex code: 0x08

And while you're adjusting prefs, go to the Terminal tab and check the bottom option: When idle, sends ASCII code 0. Now your session won't end if you're idle for more than 4 seconds.
