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

You have to restart X afterwards.
