Handle 0x7f as KEY_BACKSPACE

[rcabaco]

On Mac the backspace key is mapped to DEL (0x7f) and ncurses does not handle it as a special key, which caused the sequence "^?" (stty erase) to be inserted in the text.

From my looking around this seems to be the way to handle this at an application level, that is, to map the DEL as KEY_BACKSPACE.

Hi @rcabaco

Thanks for the PR. Just out of curiosity, does

MC/?/H/

map the delete key how you want?

[rcabaco]

Yes.

Using Alt+Ctrl with ? or H acts like a backspace.

Is there a different way to map the backspace key besides the one I am using?

[rcabaco]

Sorry, earlier I did not really understand what you meant with MC/?/H.

I applied the command but it had no effect, this is, Ctrl+? does nothing.

Hi @rcabaco

Could you try running that command in tine's command-line?

In other words, do this:

• start tine
• press escape
• type MC/?/H/
• see if delete does what you want it to do

Thank you. :)

Also, what does echo $TERM show? Thank you.

[rcabaco]

No, the backspace does not work after the command.

$ echo $TERM xterm

Let me know if you'd like me to do something else.

Thank you.
