| May 11, 2021 at 6:04 | comment | added | Nik Tedig | @romainl I use Shift+Backspace a lot when I'm setting up defines in C++. I just hold down shift and type something, and if I make a mistake, I don't remove my finger from shift before deleting the thing that was wrong. This causes a weird looking I to be added to the line, which is very annoying. | |

And I have no idea what "works" means for you because Shift+Backspace is not supposed to do anything in Vim, where it is indistinguishable from Backspace. So I'm asking again, a bit differently: why are you pressing Shift+Backspace to begin with? As for the other question, if you have the desired behaviour in other contexts, then it means that the undesired behaviour is caused by something in your current context and the right course of action is to bisect your setup. Also, it is pretty obvious that, in this specific context, Vim is receiving unexpected input.

It works fine when SSHing to my linux machine from powershell and it works fine when I normally do it in the terminal. It even works fine in other text editors like micro. I don't know why vim doesn't work. | |
