File foo
has text:
This| is a line.
If I place the cursor at the |
, hop into insert
mode, and press backspace, nothing happens. If I type something, I can delete the things I've typed, but only back to where the insertion began. For example, if I place the cursor at the end of the line, and type word
, I can delete word
but can't delete the .
or anything to the left of it.
This is rather annoying. What vim
setting does this?
x
. But if you want to change the character, you can user<newchar>
, or, to enter insert mode,cl
, which can come in pretty handy. (in fact,c<any motion>
works)
