   1 If you don't want the bundled terminfo then don't symlink it into $HOME.

   3 Terminfo straight from Debian:
   4  - screen*
   5  - xterm (same as xterm-debian)
   6  - xterm-color
   7
   8 My modified terminfos:
   9  - itermapp
  10      based on xterm-debian but with a few fixes for iTerm.app
  11  - xterm-simple
  12          a simpler profile with less advertised features. It's based on
  13          xterm-color, which is based on xterm-r6. It has ^? for backspace and ^[[3~
  14          for delete
  15
  16 The following terminfo properties were added: hs, tsl, fsl, dsl. These are for
  17 the terminal status line, in this case the xterm titlebar.

  20 How should you use these?
  21
  22 First, copy the .terminfo directory to every machine you log in to.
  23
  24 If you're running xterm, urxvt, konsole or any other compliant terminal you
  25 should set TERM=xterm and ensure that backspace/delete send ^? and ^[[3~
  26 respectively. TERM must be set in your console preferences, NOT in bashrc, etc
  27
  28 If you're running iTerm.app then set TERM to be itermapp. Do this by
  29 going to Bookmarks-> Manage Profiles-> Terminal Profiles-> Terminal Type
  30
  31 If you have problems only on a specific machine, older OSes in particular, try
  32 using TERM=xterm-simple on that machine.
  33 Eg, cp ~/.terminfo/x/xterm-simple ~/.terminfo/x/xterm
