VI BACKSPACE FIX

In Ubuntu I faced with a problem in VI. I was not able to use BACKSPACE in insert mode. Actually BACKSPACE was working but it was not able to delete characters. So I found a fix on the Internet which makes BACKSPACE functional which I used to.

So to do this you should create a file under your home directory.
 - To find your home directory you can use the command ' echo $HOME ' -
1- Create a file in your home directory as .vimrc
2- Add the following line to .vimrc
    :set backsapace=2
