Solved the problem! I found the solution somewhere in the docs within the vim session. Type in ":h :fixdel" for more details.
Quoting from the doc: [quote]------------- If the backspace key terminal code is wrong you can use this: :if &term == "termname" : set t_kb=^V<BS> : fixdel :endif Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<BS>" is the backspace key (don't type four characters!). Replace "termname" with your terminal name. ----------------[/quote] I put it in my .vimrc file (without the ":" characters). As for the "termname", i used "screen", since that's the default when I start screen. Now my backspace works like a charm. ;) -- Joon Guillen ================================ So computers are tools of the Devil? thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the tools of _somebody_, and he knew for certain that it definitely wasn't him. from "Good Omens", Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
