Just to clarify, are you wanting to make the DEL key do something different?

Thanks

I'm have 13.04 on a test system and it works fine for me.

The expected behaviour is as follows:

In libre Office Writer, gedit , or anywhere else for that matter where you are entering text type

123456789 then move the cursor between the 4 and the 5 pressing del should delete the 5 and pressing Backspace should delete the 4.

If this isn't happening on your system then first thing to check is you have selected the correct keyboard layout

If you type key into the dash you should see "Keyboard Layout" listed and be able to change the keyboard to suit the keyboard you have.

If it still isn't working report a bug

Can you help with this problem?
