:imap ^?



Note that
- "^?" is the bad character that backspace happens to be inserting.
- "" is Control-V (the modifier that does a literal insert of the next character you input)
- "" is Control-H (or what backspace should be)


So you're literally typing:

:, i, m, a, p, space, backspace, space, control-v, control-h, enter.


You got that?


All the stuff that people have been posting about fixdel and loadkeys wasn't working for me, but this simple imap statement did the trick. Please spread the word.
