this is similar to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108440 but it doesn't limit itself to xfce terminal. so it's not a duplicate. i just wanted to backspace works in commandline in xfce-terminal but not under ncmpc (ncurses interface for MPD music daemon). i have to use ^H key combination instead. same thing goes for gnome-terminal i use pl_PL.utf8 locales my /etc/conf.d/keymaps ----------------------------------------- KEYMAP="pl" SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes" EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="" #EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="backspace keypad euro" DUMPKEYS_CHARSET="" ----------------------------------------- and this is my keyboard config from xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "microsoft" Option "XkbLayout" "pl" EndSection software: gnome-terminal 2.14.1 xfce terminal 0.2.5.1_beta1 aterm 1.0.0-r1 konsole 3.5.2-r1 vte 0.12.0 ncmpc 0.11.1-r1 there may be more terminals involved, i'm not sure i use a ~x86 gentoo.
(...)i just wanted to backspace(...) should be (...) i just wanted to note that backspace (...) i missed a couple of words :/
This doesn't sound like an X11 bug.
well i don't know where does it come from. maybe it's something with my keyboard settings?

try: stty erase ^H
