If you have problems editing text input fields in ncurses uis like the Linux kernel's (make menuconfig),
put this in //${HOME}/.Xdefaults//
*VT100.Translations: #override \
BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
Home: string("\033[1~")\n\
End: string("\033[4~")
*ttyModes: erase ^?
You have to restart X afterwards.
