Problem

I have bare-bone FreeBSD installation. No package installed. And VI doesn't accept backspace key. (I pressed backspace key but nothing happen) How can I enable backspace key in VI? Oh, and I'm using Mac, and controlling FreeBSD on VM or via Terminal.

Fix for: How can I enable backspace key in VI?

Low Risk

You could try this in the terminal before running vi: where [Ctrl-V] is pressing Control + V and [Backspace] is pressing the backspace key.
