iTerm delete key not backspacing and deleting?

iTerm got you down? Is the delete key not backspacing and deleting the left-most character (you get odd characters instead)?

Try this!

In the menu bar for iTerm, click Bookmarks -> Manage Profiles. Then click the arrow next to Keyboard Profiles. Click the profile you are using (might be xterm).

Double click on the Key Combination named "delete". Set the action to send hex code, and in the box, type: 8 (for some it might be 7f, try that if 8 doesn't work).

Click OK and test!

iTerm fires off X11 when using SSH (solved)

I've been trying to figure out why every time I use iTerm to ssh to a machine X11 starts. It slows down the whole login process, and is annoying because then X11 has focus, not iTerm.

I finally found it in my ~/.ssh/config file:

ForwardX11 yes

Commented that out and now it's not firing up X11. Not sure when I set that up, might have been as an experiment to see how someone else's setup worked.
