I do all my web development ssh-ing to a Linux box. On my server the Mac ‘delete’ button worked fine in shell, but was deleting forward in Vim.

Here’s a fix!

Run a command in your terminal window:

stty -a | grep erase

and check if it says

erase = ^?;

If it is set to something else (e.g. ^H) then put the following line in both .bashrc and in either .bash_profile or /etc/profile:

  if tty --quiet ; then
    stty erase '^?'
  fi

Good luck!
