Modify cursor movement keys in Terminal
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 22, '06 09:28:34AM

The problem with using control-D is that when you're on a blank line, Del suddenly logs you out.

Other solutions have been offered, but the best in this vein that I've worked out is to use the key combination space, control-T, backspace, backspace. That inserts a space, transposes the space and the next character while moving the cursor forward, then two backspaces delete the two. When you're at the end of a line, this doesn't produce a bell sound/flash like control-F, control-H does.
