Make Delete Key work in epar
August 21st, 2007 by admin
The way I make this work is to change the editor defined in the login.cl file from vi to emacs. The cl uses keybindings based on the editor and for whatever reason, changing the editor to emacs does the trick. You have to remove the comment # from the set editor line and then change it to emacs so it then looks like
set editor = emacs
Now, I personally never have IRAF invoke the editor defined in my login.cl file so this change has no effect for me other than making the delete key work. I’m not really sure when the editor is the login.cl file is used. But presumably this change would force you to use emacs when you want vi.
