Can't use backspace in ncurses programs without using ctrl

Heya
Anyone know how to use the backspace in ncurses programs without the need to press ctrl? If I don't it just gives me "^?", I've tried setting "urxvt*backarrowKey: false/true" but it doesn't help.
Any help with this annoyance would be appreciated.

Just for the heck of it, try using the number 127 instead of KEY_BACKSPACE or what ever your'e using in your if statement or select statement.  I would have thought it would be the number 08 which is the ascii code for backspace but that didn't work.  Try it and see if it works.  If it does, I'll let you know what steps I took to try and find it. 
  I used the numbers 13 and 27 in my program instead of KEY_RETURN and KEY_ESC, since neither of those worked.  KEY_RETURN required a <shift><return> to work properly which is similar to your problem.

    How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    I used to sync my podcasts to my phone individually, but found out that the Podcast app works better for me.  It continously downloads the podcasts (not really sure when, that's the only thing, when its downloading it may use data depending on where you are) and also deletes the ones i have listened to.  Hopefully that will help you out!

    If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered:  Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
    This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.  Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
    Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

    Just spent 10 days in Ireland with our recently-purchased iPad and had no trouble charging it with the proper adaptor. NOTE: The UK uses a different adapter than continental Europe. Make sure you have the right adaptor for the counties you will visit. This article is helpful:

  • Can i get in my itunes account without  using my ipod as it is broken

    can i get in my itunes account without  using my ipod as it is broken

    You can re-download music from the store using iTunes on your computer. Music from other sources should already be on your computer in the iTunes library.
    As for photos, you will have to restore the last backup you made to another iOS device to get back what was in the camera roll.

  • Create database table using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus

    hello there,
    I need help in creating tables in Oracle using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus interface.
    your help is appreciated
    email: [email protected]

    please use Forms_ddl package to create a table dynamically
    from the Developer6/6i.
    you can check the success or failure by using the
    form_success builtin.
    if u want to avoid using the Forms_ddl package
    use stored procedure or create a sql querry record group.

  • How can i use an existing vpn connection without using the option "Send all traffic over vpn connection"?

    I have been trying to get my computer (os x.7) to astablish a remote desktop connection to my work computer via a vpn tunnel. In fact I have just discovered that it works fine if i select to "send all traffic over vpn connection" from the options in the advanced setup of the vpn.
    If the option is selected microsofts "Remote desktop connection for mac" works just fine. However without selecting the option it is not taking advantage of the tunnel but tries to connect as if the tunnel would not exist.
    Now the question is how do I get program to use the vpn tunnel without checking the above option?
    Thanks for any hints and pointers.

    Then can her computer be authorized to both accounts?
    Absolutely. You can authorize any given computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts.
    If purchases are made on her account, to a computer authorized to my account, can I put those songs on my iPod?
    If you connect your iPod to her computer, yes. Tracks download only to the computer from which they're purchased, regardless of which iTunes Store account is used for the purchase. Or you could copy the tracks from her computer to yours and then authorize your computer to her iTunes Store account. But that's sort of defeating the original purpose, it would seem to me.
    is it better to buy music through Amazon downloads and/or actually purchasing CDs to avoid the security features iTunes puts on its music?
    That's certainly an option. If it's an entire album I want, I buy CDs. That way I can import them at the quality I want and to whichever of my systems I want. Amazon or one of the other download stores that offer tracks as MP3 are also an option, though for me download stores are best when you just want a couple of tracks off a given CD.

  • Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
    Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
    I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
    Cheers
