What does properly mean?
Anyways, the following does the this:
Backspace is left alone to delete the previous character
Delete deletes the current character.
The script was posted here, I think, and put it in ~/.inputrc
# ~/.inputrc
# Costumize the different keys for Console or Xterm.
#
# We're on an xterm
$if term=xterm
DEL: delete-char
$else
# we're on a console
# Having Umlaute
set metaflag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
# Do what it says to
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
DEL: backward-delete-char
$endif
# end ~/.inputrc
A remark: if you are using bash (in Emacs mode), the lines
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
are not needed; they are the default.
Modify as you want.
