Hi!
I'd like to suggest the following change to the sqXWindow.c file of the current (2.8a) VM. I always wondered why the "DEL" key didn't work and eventually found the solution in the VM support code. Somebody explicitly removed it. That's bad. Or as my collegue said, if that key were suppost to work like backspace, they didn't had printed "DEL" on it.
Actually I changed the code so that Crtl+Space and Alt+Space work as on other platforms.

keystate= buf[0];

if (nConv == 0 && (keystate= translateCode(symbolic)) < 0) return; /* unknown key */
