Hello,
There are some very useful xterm configurations which can be performed via
mouseclicks, but I haven't found any way of doing them via X resources or
the command line.
For example if you hit
cntrl - middle mouse button
you can select the 'Backspace sends delete' option from the resulting
menu. This is pretty essential if you ever use line-mode emacs.
Bizarrely, this option is set by default if you login at the console, but
not if you login at an X terminal. How can I change the default for all
our users?
Likewise it would be very useful if you could select medium or large font
as default (this is the cntrl-right button menu). This would be much more
convenient than hard-coding a particular font in your X resource file (not
necessarily available on all X servers).
I know there are other ways of configuring backspace and delete (stty,
xmodmap, Motif bindings), but I don't want to perturb the things which
already work correctly.
