At some point in 10.4 the delete key in terminal started acting as a forward delete. This became apparent when using nano, for example. Well, I figured out how to fix it.
- Open Terminal.
- From the Terminal menu, select Window Settings.
- In the Terminal Inspector panel, select Keyboard from the popup menu.
- Check Delete key sends backspace.
- Select the Use Settings as Defaults button.
Thank you. I was having the darndest time…
