Check out my example ~/vsvimrc file... Especially the set backspace part

@nosami That fixed it, thanks.

Since this isn't closed yet, I want to ask... Why is this required only on the Mac version?

I've been using VsVim on Windows for awhile now and never had to mess with a .vsvimrc at all, then I decide to try it out on Mac and backspace isn't working. Super annoying, the defaults should be the same on both platforms.

Yes, I agree. It is just a question of getting around to it when there are a million other things that I would rather be doing :)
