Re: rxvt as Bash login console

I have also found that under some circumstances, the backspace
key does not work properly.  The following setting fixed that
problem:

rxvt*ttyModes: erase ^?


Bash seems to be very forgiving of what it uses as the backspace character, so no problem there, but the above doesn't work for me when I am in, e.g. vim. This is what works for me:

rxvt*backspacekey: ^H

And that matches what stty shows is set as my erase character.
