I’ve working on this problem where I need to assign a character to a become the delete key in Linux with termios. I’ve looked up resources and it seems like everyone is doing it this way but for some reason I cannot get it to work.
So I am trying to bind the ‘q’ character to become the new delete key. This is what I have. I am assigning the ‘q’ character be the new backspace but when I compile and run ‘q’ doesn’t delete anything.
#include <stdio.h> #include <termios.h> int main() { struct termios err; err.c_cc[VERASE] = 'q'; return 0; }
