Couldn't you simply check the platform at load time, adapting the behavior of the DEL to mimic BS when running under OSX? That, or have a separate mapping file for each platform that loads at run-time which would also hold potential to all a more user definable approach for mapping key sequences and such to user-defined macros.

Thanks for the bug reports. I've opened a bug for the dictionary deletion issue (<a href="http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=4769">http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=4769
</a>).<br><br>I'm a little worried about treating DEL the same as backspace - what happens when an actual DEL character comes in? This one has come up before too, but I don't think we yet have a bug on it.<br><br>-----Original Message-----
