<rant> The fact that most applications *agree* on those broken settings doesn't make them less broken.
The obsession on Linux with VT100/VT220 is ridiculous. I was born in the seventies and have never seen a VT100/VT220 keyboard. It's 2015 and we use PC keyboards. Hence, since 1998, I've been doing my part to bludgeon all my applications and remote Linux accounts to do the right thing. Backspace is ^H, Delete is ^?; I own a PC, not some kind of electronic relic.

I have a feeling that 'proper' VTXXX terminal emulation discussions bring out all the pedants :)
I'm a pedant, but not *for* VTXXX :)
Hope the above settings help.

Pfft. Kids these days :-).
Some of us fondly remember the VT100 as a step up from the ASR33 teletype, or the ADM 3A CRT :-D.
