I’ve installed Void Linux base image and my backspace key is broken when I am root, it types ‘^H’ instead of erasing. Function keys also type something weird, but at least the brighness-related ones do work.

This only applies to the root shell, it all works perfectly when I login as a normal user. Probably a bashrc issue?

UPD: I typed ‘stty erase ^H’ in the shell and it now works.

    Yeah I’d bet this. Had my keyboard set to GB something once and backspace and tilde were all messed up
