in thread Learn vi/vim in 50 lines and 15 minutes

I also never figured out how to backspace a newline off

Ah INSERT MODE backspace key works for me and will backspace you to the begining of the file if you hold it down long enough.... Here is your post after I did G A Backspace + Hold it down and wait.....

~ ~ ~ ~ -- INSERT --

:-)

J will join lines ie remove newlines too. J will remove the newline at the end of the cursor line effectively joining the next line to it.....

As noted in NAV mode DEL deletes stuff. BACKSPACE just works like left arrow or h and navigates you. GOK!

cheers
