It just isn't right, it will also break Emacs. I cannot reproduce this here, but my LFS is rather old. Could you please answer the following questions? 1) Does the problem exist on the livecd itself? 2) What's in your /etc/vimrc? In particular, is the "set nocompatible" statement there? 3) What do you mean by "does not work"? I.e., is the description of your problem below correct? You start vim, press "iasdf<backspace>". The "f" letter is not deleted but it should be. Instead, the following happens: <describe here>. > I have tried :set backspace=2 in vim, but that doesn't change anything. This controls backspacing over newlines, not the expected backspace/delete characters. > I have not changed /etc/inputrc. This only controls applications linked with readline. Vim isn't. > KEYMAP_CORRECTION="/etc/kbd/bs-sends-del" Typo, someone should fix it. -- Alexander E.
