It might happen that your system cannot distinguish between C-d and Backspace, so you better first check what that keys is by entering C-h k and then pressing the backspace key. Use this name then for: (global-set-key [] 'delete-backward-char) Pressing Esc-backspace or M-backspace should automatically delete backward a whole word. Pressing C-h b you'll see the keybindings in an extra *Help* buffer. -- Greetings Pete "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by" (Douglas Adams)
