Subject: Making Backspace Work Like VI
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 11:09:29 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f039074-adcd-43d5-af6a-beed5f7a4289@z41g2000yqz.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi all,
In Vi, in insert mode, backspace does the same thing as the left
arrow, and every keystroke overwrites a character. Is there a similar
"replace mode" in emacs?

thanks ...
