  <title>Key compatibility</title>

  <p its:locNote="Translators: check that the wording is correct for RTL.">The
  <key>Backspace</key> traditionally deletes character before the cursor and
  the <key>Del</key> deletes characters after the cursor, however this is not
  always the case. To reduce ambiguity, you can specify in <app>Terminal</app>
  which control character or <link xref="overview">escape sequence</link> the
  delete and backspace keys should generate. You can set different options for
  different profiles.</p>
