Backspace not working

On some of my systems, when I am in SQL*Plus, the backspace does not work. There must be a setting in the login environment, that affects this.
How can I fix this in the profile, without having to type in something everytime I log in ?
This is on Linux SLES9, running Oracle 10G.

What is the result of stty on the Linux becoming?
($ is prompt, do not type $, type only stty)
$ stty
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
erase = ^H;
-brkint -imaxbel
or
$ stty
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
erase = ^?;
-brkint -imaxbel
If it was the latter, please try this.
$ stty erase ^H
If this made your SQL*Plus correctly,
then please put it in login scripts on Linux for your convenience.
(ex .profile, .bash_profile, .login etc.)

BackSpace not working in textfield

Hi everybody!
I have a textfield that only lets enter numeric chars. It extends from JTextField.
The problem is that the Backspance key is not working. I see that is detected in the processKey Event but it does nothing.
I have seen some topics about that there is a bug in jdk1.3 and that a solution is using keyTyped instead. But I don't know how to do this.
May someone help me?
Thanxxxx

Hello,
i think the best way is to to use a custom PlainDocuments for your TextField:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class NumberField extends JTextField {
     public NumberField(){
          setDocument(new PlainDocument(){
               public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet a)throws BadLocationException{
                    try{
                         Double.parseDouble(str);
                    }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){return;}
                    super.insertString(offset,str,a);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f=new JFrame();
          f.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 50);
          NumberField nf=new NumberField();
          f.getContentPane().add(nf);
          f.setVisible(true);

G,h and backspace not working

hi,
i am using hp notebook 2000 series past 5 month.
suddenly switches "g","h" and backspace stopped working.
My BIOS configue is : F.26 -02/21/2013(088A120000305910000620100)
do let me know the correct solution.
regards,
chandresh.

Hi,
While this may well be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click on Standard PS/2 Keyboard and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook - if you're running Window 8/8.1, do this by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
When done, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to see if this will launch the Start-up Menu - if it does, select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.

CTRL_ALT-BAckspace not working in KDE4 [SOLVED]

Hi,
I use KDE4 (not modded) and have noticed recently that CTRL-ALT-Backspace won't work. I use it infrequently to jump to terminal mode so I'm not sure when this started. Is there a setting somewhere for KDE4 or KDM that I can alter or is this an issue with X???
Thanks

Have you enabled the functionality in x since the upgrade?

Backspace not working on Mavericks (External USB Mac Keyboard A1243)

After upgrading to Mavericks OS, my external keyboard's backspace key has stopped working. I have gone through my keyboard settings and unable to find any problems. The backspace works fine on another computer. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks,

Backspace not working correctly

While I'm in grid view I use Backspace to remove a series of selected photos from LR. I am given the option to Delete or Remove. When I choose Delete, the image is still left behind in the folder but is removed from LR, acting essentialy the same as "Remove".
When I right click a single image I am given the same options and "Delete" works correctly removing from LR and moving the image into recycle.
Is there a way to get Backspace to operate properly? I find it rather unweildy to have to delete one image at a time while reviewing them.
I'm running Vista Business, LR 1.0 on an intel e5500 laptop with 2gigs of ram and 60gigs of free space on my HD.

The Delete Remove only really works in Folders. In Collections and Keywords, it just removes the image from the Collection or Keyword list.
So... Are uou in Folders or All Photographs when doing this?

Bug JDeveloper 10.1.3 : Backspace not working in .jspx source editing mode

I checked the first 3 pages to see if someone else posted it and it don't look like it, so here I go.
I just downloaded JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 and found out that backspace no longer work when editing a .jspx page in source mode but works fine in design mode. In EA it was working fine. Is that wanted? Or am I the only one with that issue?
Regards

Hmmm,
I must have been too quick to install some plugins maybe. Time to retry with clean install I guess.
Thank for the quick input.

Backspace Not Working....iTunes misrepresenting Content

Hi all, i docked my iPod on my new C2D iMac this eve, i started trying to delete stuff from my iPod and the Mac was throwing the move to trash or keep file menu, so out of instinct i was saying keep file. As a result the songs were being removed from the iPod library and not the iPod capacity. I can understand this in terms of OSX but not on a iPod, i then started to use the delete button instead and then i was starting to get the 'Are you sure you want to remove' from the ipod.
I think somethings wrong, this a brand new restore using the US Clock -48 fix.

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

Key fn + Backspace does not work with apple wireless keyboard

Hello,
I want to user the WIndows Key DEL. However, the apple wireless keyboard dosn't have such a key. I read, that FN + Backspace will solve this. It does not work on my apple wireless keyboard. I'm using BootCamp 3.2 and WIndows XP, running on a Mac Mini 2010.
In addition, I also read, that FN + Cursor Left sould work like POS1. But this doesn't work, too.
Windows shows for the keyboard: Deutsch (Apple)

JMaskField mask input : delete and backspace do not work

I am using this package for formatted input.
Delete and backspace do not work if the field is created with a default text as in the code snippet I attach. Did somebody managed this to work? How? delete and backspace work badly in everycase anyway.
best regards
-Mangi
MaskMacros macros = new MaskMacros();
macros.addMacro('*',"[a-zA-Z0-9]");
macros.addMacro('#', "[0-9]");
macros.addMacro('@', "[a-zA-Z]");
macros.addMacro('%',"[A-Z]");
macros.addMacro('*',"[a-zA-Z0-9]");
MaskField2 k = new MaskField2("CODE******",macros);

Nope, I don't think those keys are even "firing" as another person worded it. I can push the buttons down, so they aren't stuck but it doesn't seem to be sending any signal.

Backspace button not working...anyone know how to fix?

My backspace button will not work. The "Return" button activates instead. Can anyone help?

Sounds like an issue with your multi-touch display. You may need to contact AppleCare or an Apple Store for a repair.
Before you try that though, create an iTunes backup and restore the device as new to check to see if that fixes the issue. You'll need to do the backup before doing a repair anyways.
