Subject: Could someone please help me with the redefinition of the delete key. I want my emacs to use the kill-backward-chars on the delete key. The redefinition is ignored when I put (global-set-key "\C-?" 'kill-backward-chars) into my .emacs. The best I have been able to do is to have a lot of (local-set-key "\C-?" 'kill-backward-chars) sprinkled throughout my various mode initialization hooks. Anyone got any ideas what the fix is?
