I tried vi, vim, and emacs, but in any of the environments, backspace key does not function as I had expected.
It just produces characters like "^?".
How can I solve this?
Can you try removing the description
stty erase ^H
that may be in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc, and login again?
Our experiment tells us that this would fix the issue.
Files like ~/.vimrc does not matter in this case.
Also, we found that this issue does not happen when you use csh or tcsh.
