Message-ID: <E1CxlkA-0000Jk-PV@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7883d812b65fe2b1bbddbc18cf272ece@swipnet.se> (jan.h.d@swipnet.se)

    Currently it checks if the keyboard physically has a backspace and 
    delete key and that they generate backspace and delete respectively.
    The patch suggested would instead check that both backspace and delete 
    can be generated by any key combination.  This is not what the doc: 
    says today.

    I have no objection to such a change, it would probably not make any 
    difference in the majority of cases.

Would Emacs be more correct if this change is made?  (Or some other
related change?)

I don't think his peculiar case is very important, and I would not
want to make a lot of effort just to cater to it.  However, if there
is a good argument that the current code is not really correct, and we
can replace it with something that is entirely correct, that is more
of a reason to make the change.
