The problem is not pc-selection mode, but how Emacs does normal-erase-is-backspace in multi-tty situations. Here's an even simpler recipe, not involving pc-selection-mode or the daemon: 1. Add the following line to .emacs: (global-set-key [C-delete] 'kill-line) 2. emacs -nw -f server-start 3. emacsclient -c 4. C-h k C-backspace => runs the command kill-line
