trouble with BACKSPACE within screen

Post by L337hium »

Hi folks. Since yesterday I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 with LXDE and LXTerminal 0.1.3.
Now I have some trouble with some keys like Backspace if I'm running screen in a LXTerminal.

If I open a new LXTerminal (or a new Tab) everything is working fine. I can use Backspace and Delete, like it should behave. BS deletes from right-to-left and DEL erase the Character on the cursor-postion.

Now I'm starting screen and the problem beginns:
I can not use BACKSPACE in a bash-prompt nor if I want to manipulate a screen-window-name with (CTRL+a A) or if I want to switch to the previous window (i.e. from 9 to 8 to 7 etc) with (CTRL+a BACKSPACE), then screen switch to the next window (from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 etc).
DELETE works on a bash-prompt but not while manipulating a screen-window-name.

Useing CTRL+h in stead of BS works.


If I login on a system-shell (i.e. tty1) or via ssh everything works fine. The problems, I described above, I can only reproduce with LXTerminal on this machine. Also I can't use ALT as a meta-key in LXTerminal (i.e. in irssi to fastswitch windows).

Thx for any help.
