Re: Deleting broken in Python, or why delete-key-deletes-forward sucks

[OK, having the backspace key generate Delete instead of Backspace is a bad idea in itself, but we should probably deal with it as best as we can.] If the problem is with t being the default, then maybe the default should be changed from t to something which checks the value of (x-keysym-on-keyboard-p 'backspace) under X. -- Glynn Clements <glynn(a)sensei.co.uk&gt;
