To get it working I have to press Ctrl+H. Bash prompt behaves properly (therefore I assume that readline interprets the keycode better). Also, local bash prompt (not using sshd, just starting ...\bin\bash.exe works ok (even with .bash_profile setting TERM to linux) Environment: - latest (updated) complete cygwin version installation, - ssh client Putty (also ShellGuard -- former TelNeat), - TERM=linux (for shellguard) or xterm (for Putty) There are some ways to get it working properly: - using putty, I can configure backspace to send Ctrl+H - if I open ShellGuard to a linux machine (where BackSpace works ok) then ssh to cygwin machine, it works again. I am not very sure, but I *think* this occured recently, after (for example) updating cygwin's openssh, terminfo etc to latest versions. I tried playing with bs option in shellguard's termcap.ini but no success. Ideas?
