Enable backspace when ssh into a debian machine with zsh 2

Posted by Antonin AMAND Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:16:00 GMT

As many users of mac OS X, I’ve encountered some troubles with the backspace key when ssh into a debian machine.

Reading some posts on the web, I was thinking that the problem was about the shell or the tty. But in fact it was related to zsh.

The default zsh map on debian is not correct for mac users. The solution is to tell zsh how to bind keys.

echo "bindkey ^? backward-delete-char" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "bindkey ^[[3~ delete-char" >> ~/.zshrc

Use ctrl+v [key] to generate the ^... characters.
