544 Emacs has traditionally used Control-H for help; unfortunately this 544 Emacs has traditionally used Control-H for help; unfortunately this
545 interferes with its use as Backspace on TTY's. One way to solve this 545 interferes with its use as Backspace on TTY's. As of XEmacs 21,
546 problem is to put this in your .emacs: 546 XEmacs looks at the "erase" setting of TTY structures and maps C-h to
547 547 backspace when erase is set to C-h. This is sort of a special hack,
548 (when (eq tty-erase-char ?\C-h) 548 but it makes it possible for you to use the standard:
549 (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) 549
550 (global-set-key "\M-?" 'help-command)) 550 stty erase ^H
551 551
552 This checks whether the TTY erase char is C-h, and if it is, makes 552 to get your backspace key to erase characters. The erase setting is
553 Control-H (Backspace) work sensibly, and moves help to Meta-? (ESC ?). 553 recorded in the Lisp variable `tty-erase-char', which you can use to
554 554 tune the settings in your .emacs.
555 Note that you can probably also access help using F1. 555
556 A major drawback of this is that when C-h becomes backspace, it no
557 longer invokes help. In that case, you need to use f1 for help, or
558 bind another key. An example of the latter is the following code,
559 which moves help to Meta-? (ESC ?):
