erase and interrupt keys - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

chrs0302 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-21-2005

This is on our Ultra 5/10 Sparc with Solaris 9.

I need to store the following (stty) keys in the .profile and /etc/profile files as
shown here.

erase "Back Space Key"
Interrupt "Ctrl + C"

I need the exact syntax/procudure as I have to set these two keys whenever I login to the terminal screen. We do remote login using SSH.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

for erase:

if [ "`tty`" != "not a tty" ]
then

# stty erase \^h #for backspace
# stty erase \^? #for delete
