Emacs> Set delete key in emacs

Oct26
2010
Written by Scott Rowley

I really hate that the delete key backspaces. I’m sure there is a lot of pointless posturing on how this is the ‘old school’ way. Well… 1) I don’t care 2) I’m new school and I want a backspace key AND a delete key…
Add the following line to your ~/.emacs file:

(global-set-key (kbd "") 'delete-char)
