[Nano-devel] does anyone use "bind Del backspace" on macOS or PuTTY?

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

Does anyone use the bind command that is suggested at the end
of sample.nanorc?

  ## Set this if your Backspace key sends Del most of the time.
  # bind Del backspace all

It was added there ten years ago [1] with the comment that it
might be useful for users of OS X or PuTTY who want to connect
to remote Linux machines.  Can anyone confirm this?  Because
I am curious why it is needed.
