Solved FreeBSD 13.2 vt-console shortcuts L_Alt+d - works, but R_Alt+d - don't work

[hishnik]

Eventually I've installed fresh FreeBSD 13.2 and found this problem.
Alt+d should delete word in front of the cursor.
It drives me crazy.
How to make it work correctly?

This can depend on the shell and the configuration of it.

This depends on the keymap you are using; usually the right alt key is mapped to altgr. If you don't need the altgr, to "fix" this change 093 (for us.kbd, at least) entry to contain lalt instead of ralt.

Is there more correct way to fix it, not just for US keymap?

You can "fix" it for any keymap, just replace the ralt with lalt in the keymap file. Other than that, I am not aware of any "altgr should act as alt" options for vt/syscons.

Well, the proper fix is sysctl kern.vt.enable_altgr=0, we really need to document this tunable.
