Running applications

<Del> versus <Ctrl>-C

Linux and the LKP both assign <Ctrl>-C as the Xterm keyboard interrupt character. UnixWare 7 uses the <Del> key.

If you would prefer to use the <Del> key as the interrupt character from an LKP Xterm, set the following X11 resources in the .Xdefaults file in your home directory:

   XTerm.VT100*deleteIsDEL: true
   XTerm*ttyModes:          erase ^?

You can load the modified .Xdefaults file by running:

   xrdb .Xdefaults

NOTE: Only clients started after the load will use the new resource definitions.

You can print the current contents of the X11 resource database by running:

   xrdb -q
