ConEmu with Git Bash delete key won't work

Question

I am using ConEMU with Git Bash and all is working well except the delete key. When I press the delete key I get a ~ instead of the character being removed. The only way to delete is get in front of the character and press backspace.

I do no exhibit this problem using Powershell so I presume something else must be upsetting it.

I have searched the settings under Keys and Macros but cannot find anything to fix my problem.

Answer 1

Put this into your .bashrc. Works fine for me.

export TERM=xterm

I edit the file Minttyrc - ONLY SELECTED

BoldAsFont=no

Answer 3

Simply go to the git menu option in the git bash..

then to Terminal

there change the type to xterm... and backspace will work after restarting the bash terminal.
