Blackbox has no support for this. I guess you've installed a

You might have to adjust your ~/.inputrc. Mine looks like this:
set bell-style none
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

See /etc/X11/XF86Config and comment out the appropriate line.
