Q: My delete key does not erase previous characters. I have to use ^H (Ctrl-H). A: Nyx is initially set up to assume that your keyboard issues the backspace character (^H) when you press delete. If this is not true, then you will initially have to use the backspace key or ^H to rub out characters. If your delete key issues the DEL character (^? or 7F Hex) then you may set up Nyx to obey the delete key as follows: from the top menu choose s, t and del.
