how to make tclsh backspace key working properly

I am using tclsh on a unix system. The TCL shell (8.6) is installed properly and works as expected. However, when I use tclsh interactively, the backspace key does not work.

When I hit the keyboard I get: "^?" instead.

That is rather annoying because I have to retype the whole line. Is there any way to make working normally?

Thanks

  • I have fixed a similar problem in Vim with this shell command.

    stty erase '^?'

    Put this into the config file that is read by your shell in interactive mode.
