Spaceship-prompt: Vi-mode: Backspace not working as expected in insert mode

[TheBaronHimself]

In vi-mode backspace doesn't currently delete characters that were typed before switching to normal mode and back to insert mode.

E.g.:
1) Type something
2) Leave insert mode/enter normal mode
3) Enter insert mode again
4) Try to delete the previously typed string using backspace.

Here is what I mean:

Confirmed.

@ghost @kwinczek guys, you've implemented vi-mode in Spaceship. Can you help with that?

[noctuid]

I'm pretty sure this is the normal behavior and has nothing to do with spaceship. See here for a solution.

Thanks to @noctuid, the solution of this problem is add this line in your .zshrc.

bindkey "^?" backward-delete-char

Ref

If you have this problem in vim, you can add

set backspace=indent,eol,start

in your .vimrc to solve the problem.

Is this issue still relevant? @sean8purdue is your solution would fit into spaceship as a fix (I don't use vi-mode, so have no idea if it's a fault on our side, or it the user's business).

[noctuid]

I think it would be unexpected for spaceship to alter the default keybinding. I think the issue can be closed.

Okay, thank you.
