Here’s the problem: You ssh in to a linux system from your Macbook’s terminal and join a shared “screen” session. Instantly your backspace key stops working as a backspace key and becomes a forward delete key, resulting in those annoying “Wuff Wuff” messages at the bottom of your terminal.
Well I found a solution to this tonight. Simple do the following:
- Go to Terminal > Preferences > Settings> Advanced
- Tick Delete sends CTRL – H
Et voila. It should be fixed.
Thank you!
Very Helpfull.

yeap, it did help, thx 🙂
This worked great for me as well. Thanks a lot for posting this!
made my day, dude!
Works, and that small annoyance is gone now.
Thanks!!!
Works, but then you can’t backspace in password prompts, and pressing backspace when not at a prompt outputs ^H^H^H.
Instead set “Declare terminal as” to “rxvt” in terminal preferences.
