Re: Simple Vim questions -- Backspace + Escape in maps

Another question, what happens when you use the Backspace key on a command line in a Terminal? Do you get something that looks like: ^?

If so, it may be your terminal emulator is at fault for mishandling the key.

1. Backspace in insert mode, over some characters, gives a special  character instead of erasing. I remember that this was a feature, not a bug  – a way to type special characters when they were troublesome to produce  otherwise. I don't need that facility, which is very annoying; I just want  backspace to erase. What should I do? My settings file (_vimrc) currently  has                  set bs=2  

You might want to have a look at the 'digraph' option.

Jürgen
