You can read about this in Debian-Policy under http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch3.html#s3.8 Chapter 3.8 Keyboard configuration I quote: " [...] all programs in the Debian distribution have to be configured to comply with the following guidelines. Here is a list that contains certain keys and their interpretation: <-- delete the character to the left of the cursor Delete delete the character to the right of the cursor " > The particular example that concerns me most is under the application > "vim".

Maybe the vim-command :fixdel could help you. -- <a href="http://www.einblick.de/";> Frank Barknecht Das Koelner Stadt- und Unimagazin >-------------< </a> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
