Using GNU Nano in Ubuntu
I was recently installing Warehouse on a Ubuntu Server, and was using nano quite a bit for some simple edits. One thing that was quite annoying was the fact that the “backspace” on my Mac was acting like the forward delete. I figured there had to be a configuration directive somewhere, which I found in /etc/nanorc. I opened that file (remember to use sudo) and un-commented this line out:
## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem. set rebinddelete
That fixed the issue.
Tip: you can search for delete by hitting ctrl+w and typing delete.
