[SOLVED] problem with zsh and urxvt and keybinding

NeoXP · 2009-02-23 22:59:01

I hope this is the right forum to post this problem, else please move it to the right forum.

I have zsh and urxvt installed and I am quite pleased with it, except for one problem,

When I push the delete button in urxvt I get a ~ instead of deleting the next character. In aterm and xterm I don't have this problem.

I'm sure that there is a way to make the right keybinding for this, but I can't find the solution. Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?

These are my most current bindkeys...

case $TERM in (rxvt*) #urxvt
    bindkey "\e[7~"  beginning-of-line
    bindkey "\e[8~"  end-of-line
esac    
bindkey "^A" beginning-of-line
bindkey "^E" end-of-line
bindkey '^?' backward-delete-char
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char

Open a terminal, hit ctrl-V, and press delete. It should print the key generated. The first ^[ is escaped as \e.

So, on my terminal I see ^[[3~
I put bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char in my ~/.zshrc, and there you go.
