Looking in the terminfo database of ncurses, there is just one terminal that does that: mime314 from Microterm, from the eighties! By sheer luck, Pico (and thus nano) has chosen to make ^D delete a character in the normal (rightward) way.

Wed 19 Dec 2018 07:51:34 PM UTC, comment #5: Actually, I installed Nano 3.2 originally... that's where I'm seeing the error. Only reason I referenced 3.1 is because that's where I read that something had been done to the ^H functionality. So I just assumed that's where the problem originated.

Wed 19 Dec 2018 07:38:39 PM UTC, comment #4: If you want to get around it, search for "FreeBSD" (without the quotes) in src/global.c and delete all those four lines of that #if clause. (You can do the same for nano version 3.2.)

Looks like v3.1 did some monkeying around with the backspace.
