I'm used to Apple laptops, on which Function + Backspace is mapped to Delete. I'm also okay with Shift + Backspace.
Is there a way to obtain this? Note, I'm using Xmonad and have some keyboard modifications set up with xmodmap
but have very little understanding of how it works.
I've tried xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace KP_Delete BackSpace BackSpace"
, which works in some applications but is ignored by my terminal.
I've seen this question but it seems KDE-specific. I would prefer not to have to use some GUI.
