key as @key{BS} or @key{<-} and refers to it as a ``backspace key''.)
When Emacs starts, it tries to detect keyboards with both @key{BS} and
@key{Delete} keys, and if so, binds them to the commands users expect:
@key{Delete} deletes forward, like @kbd{C-d} does, and @key{BS} deletes
backwards. However, some systems don't report the keyboard
configuration. If your keyboard has these two keys, and if they are
both reported to Emacs, but Emacs is unable to establish that, you can
use the @code{delete-key-deletes-forward-mode} command to force Emacs to
treat @key{BS} and @key{Delete} differently. Either type @kbd{C-u 1 M-x
