I am using SBCL Lisp on a Mac Pro Mavericks. When I run the sbcl command and drop into the interpreter the delete key prints ^? instead of deleting the last character.

Does anyone have a remedy for this issue?

Go to terminal preferences (command-,), settings --> advanced; then check the option Delete sends Control-H.

  • Tried that earlier, but doesn't seem to fix it. – ZenBalance Dec 29 '13 at 06:12
  • @ZenBalance: does it change things for cat? – sds Dec 29 '13 at 22:09
  • what does cat refer to? – ZenBalance Dec 29 '13 at 22:40
  • cat is a standard unix command (man and google are your friends); type cat at the command prompt in the terminal, type letters, hit delete before and after my suggested changes, report the observations in your question as suggested by Chris. – sds Dec 29 '13 at 22:59
  • Got it! Working now. Didn't realize that another setting I had in my .bashrc which I was trying to use to fix the problem was messing up your solution. – ZenBalance Dec 29 '13 at 23:09
