I am trying to map (and map!) the delete key on my system to delete.
Example:
:map! {ESC seq for delete} ^[lxi
The problem I run into is that using the "l" to reverse the effect of
escaping out of input mode works great everywhere except the beginning
of line. At the begining of a line I end up killing the wrong character!
Example:
123456
^Cursor at beginning of the line in input mode and delete map! is hit.
13456
^Cursor and wrong results
Help! I could be aproching this from the wrong angle.
