It may be rather hard to make backspace work reliably across different terminals. At least in my gnome-terminal backspace does not come out as '\b' (or KEY_BACKSPACE), but as 332 (KEY_DC) due to keypad() translation being enabled. This is one reason why I would like to introduce an "edit" keymap so it can be made configurable. -- Jonas Fonseca
