zsh with z/OS 3.1 delete key anomaly

  • 1.  zsh with z/OS 3.1 delete key anomaly

    Posted Tue June 18, 2024 07:22 AM

    When using the new zsh the delete key does not work properly as it replaces the deleted characters with a ~.

    IBM Idea ZOS-I-4046 requesting IBM to fix this has been marked as 'Not under consideration' while providing in the comments a workaround:

    Add the following to your .zshrc file:

    # Fix Delete Key

    bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char

    Note: I have not had to do this on any other zsh implementation (think several flavors of Linux).
