Fedora: After Exiting Su Root, Backspace Prints ^?
Had the weirdest problem on Fedora 20. Any time I was in the terminal, if I used su
to set user to root, once I exited back into my normal shell, any backspace would produce the ^?
character.

$ ./command --opy^?^C
$ god damn it

This problem is solved thusly:
- Open your terminal.
- Edit → Profile Preferences → Compatibility
- Select
Backspace key generates
, and change it from ASCII DEL
to Automatic
And you're done!
