Dear sirs, I'm using various keyboards, among which several have the layout that was the customary one before the advent of the ubiquitous PC keyboard. I.e., the key in the upper-right part of the main keyboard is the Delete key (key value 127, key symbol Delete). There is no Backspace key on these keyboards, and this is not really absurd, since a back space means something mainly on a printing terminal, not on a graphic one. You can find this layout on the Digital LK keyboards, the NCD N108 and vt220 keyboards, the Sun type 4, the Tektronix XN11, etc. It is also the layout of all alphanumeric terminals derived from the celebrated VT100. The problem is that the Gimp considers that the key in this position is always a Backspace, and thus defines code C-h as erasing the character on left, while DEL erases the character on right. This is very inconvenient when the keyboard is not conform to the dominant one. Olivier Lecarme
