Make the forward delete key work in Terminal Apps
If the forward-delete key just keeps inputting a '~' when pressed, instead of deleting the next character there is an easy solution.
In Terminal Preferences, click `profiles > Keyboard and + (Add)`
Double-click on the `del (forward delete)` key.
In the window that pops open, in the input box just below "Action."Type:
`Control-Option-D`
you should see '\004' in the box. Click OK, close the Terminal Inpsector window, and you should now have a working forward-delete key.
Yay!
