If you ":set list", and 'listchars' is unset, every hard tab you type
should appeat as ^I

If you ":set list", and 'listchars' has a properly set "tab:" subentry,
then that should be used to display hard tabs. To display them as
spasces, use for instance

:set list listchars=tab:\ \ ,eol:$

(two backslash-escaped spaces: see :help option-backslash ).

In both cases, the backspace ought to work properly...

What does Vim answer to

:verbose set list? listchars? lazyredraw?
:if !has('gui_running') | verbose set t_kb? t_kD? | endif

and what appears if (in Insert or Command-line mode) you hit Ctrl-V (or
Ctrl-Q if you use Ctrl-V to paste into Vim) followed by Backspace?

Best regards,
Tony.
