Run vi and I can use delete to delete things, but after a while delete stops doing anything. Using esc-d-left isn't a great option. Why is there no proper backspace key anyway. And why does fn-delete not do something sensible? Is there a way to convince OSX to remap my keys in a sensible way. Fucking software. Not good for anything. Gavin.
