[arch-general] howto set [backspace] for previous page for man pages and less?
Listmates, I am trying to find the [backspace] key definition so I can change it to make the backspace key function as the key for [previous page] in both less and for man pages. Does any body know where Arch sets this? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

$ lesskey - \b back-screen ^? back-screen Press Ctrl-D to end input. Note: you have to generate "^?" pressing Ctrl-V then backspace. Hope this helps. For further info see the lesskey manual.
