In insert mode, when I press the backspace key, it erases only the

characters entered in this instance of insert mode. How do I erase previously entered characters in insert mode using the backspace key? This is traditional vi behaviour. You can set the ‘backspace’ option to erase previously entered characters in insert mode:

    :set backspace=indent,eol,start
