Vim - 在插入模式下使用退格键删除空行

Question

When my cursor is placed at the start of an empty line and I press the backspace key while in insert mode, I'd expect it to wrap the the previous line. However it stays in the same line and does nothing.

I can't seem to figure out what I should add to my.vimrc file to fix this.

Answer 1

You can set backspace option:

:set backspace=indent,eol,start

Or

:set bs=2

Answer 2

Are you by any chance working from a windows system? using putty for example?

Sometimes I've seen terminal emulators on windows mess up backspace, so it "sorta" works. Eg. in putty, there a setting under "terminal -> keyboard" for changing how backspace works. Try that.

Answer 3

If you manually install Vim , no matter where you are on Debian , or

Ubuntu , or even other platform, please add the below code to your

~/.vimrc (The below code works on my Debian manually installed Vim):

set backspace=indent,eol,start

After set nocompatible " be iMproved, required under ~/.vimrc .

Notice: set backspace=2 Do Not Work on my Debian manually installed Vim.

My Debian Manually installed Vim version is: 8.2 .
