退格无法在emacs中的term-mode中的ssh中工作

Question

I'm running a terminal inside emacs, using term-mode. In that terminal I'm ssh-ing to another host and on that host, the backspace key no longer works. It works fine if I'm ssh-ing from a different terminal emulator outside of emacs.

So just to be clear, I'm not running emacs on the remote host, I'm running a remote shell inside emacs.

Answer 1

So it is your terminal in emacs you need fix, :D

I had a similar issue with a perticular setup where backspace key through ssh act as delete key, seems emacs sometime have problem guessing which one is which in non-GUI setting.

what I did is change (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 1) from 1 to 0 . You could try that, but is sounds like a terminal issue to me.

reference in emacs manaul about that setting
