Bad key bindings over ssh from a mac

I encountered, for some time now, problems when connecting over ssh from my mac to a linux machine.
These problems were related to backspace/delete key in both nano and zsh the solutions I found today are :

For zsh type :

echo "bindkey ^? backward-delete-char" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "bindkey ^[[3~ delete-char" >> ~/.zshrc

WARNING : you should type these commands not copy/paste them, ^? sequence is obtained using ctrl+v then [backspace key].

For nano type :

## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem.
echo "set rebinddelete" >> ~/.nanorc

All should works now.[…]
