I've installed yet another RedHat 6.2 system and have again run afoul
of the Great BackSpace Key Fiasco.
This fresh-out-of-the-box system has this aggravating behaviour:
I type a long command, but make an error. I backspace to correct it,
but instead of removing the mis-typed character, the entire line is deleted
and I have to type it all again. I am a sloppy (but fast) typist and
this renders the system all but unusable.
Can we not all agree that the BackSpace key has God's intended
purpose of removing the last typed character, allowing it to be
retyped?
Can anyone give me a single rational reason why I should like the
present RedHat behaviour?
Red Hat! Are you listening? Please fix this BEFORE you issue another
release! Fix it on the command line. Fix it in X. Fix in in
applications. Fix it EVERYWHERE.
Yes, I know how to fix it myself. But why should I have to???
