Issue with 'Backspace' and 'Delete' Keys [17]
Issue with 'Backspace' and 'Delete' Keys
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 11:48 PM - Pravat
Am using Xshell 3.0 on Vista Ent. When connected to a AIX host the 'Backspace' and 'Delete' Keys doesn't work as desired.
But for the same putty work pretty fine. Tried all the options in Terminal > Keyboard, none of them helped.
Putty config and the xshell build screenshots attached.
Program Ver. : Xshell 3.0

Delete doesn't work in most shell environment. You can try this on console. I have tried with Putty too but the delete doesn't work there either.
However, backspace key works if the backspace option is set as 'Backspace (Ctrl+H)' in Properties > > Terminal > Keyboard.

It does delete but the text shows up as it is... check the attached screenshot for a clear idea...

We have tested on AIX 5.3 but the problem did not occur.
Please try de-selecting the 'Insert Mode (IRM)' option in Terminal > VT mode.
Also, if your problem persists, please send us the following information:

This problem can occur when echo is turned off in ksh. Try giving the following command:
$ stty echoe
Hope this helps.

This problem could not be duplicated. Since we are testing this on a same AIX machine, I am almost certain that this is probably a configuration problem. Please post the result of 'stty -a'
Also, could you confirm that backspace functions as normal in Putty?
It would help us solving this problem if you can provide us with a test account on the AIX machine. If you can, please send us the account and server information to support@netsarang.com.

You must enable echoe and echoctl values. You can do this by using the following commands:
stty echoe
stty echoctl

I tried adding the following to the user's .profile. It works for the current session, even works for the session with "su", but no help when we switch user with it's environment "su -".
$ tail -3 .profile
stty echoe
stty echoctl
stty erase ^H
If i have to enable echoe and echoctl values to make the Backspace to work as desired, how come a free client like putty currently working fine? Hence I won't be able to add the 'echoe and echoctl' to the global profile file.
