    <p>It used to be that when I went into insert mode on an existing file, I could hit "delete" and that would work. Now I can still delete and modify things that I newly add to a file, but if there is existing stuff there once I open a file, I do not have the ability to delete that. I can only delete and modify new stuff. Out of insert mode however I still have the ability to delete things with the regular <code>dd</code> type commands. My .vimrc is pretty simple, and my only addon is SuperTab.</p> <p>Here is my .vimrc if that helps:</p> <pre><code>set tags=./tags,~/kent/src/tags,~/kent/src/lib/tags,~/kent/src/inc/tags,~/kent/src/hg/lib/tags,~/kent/src/hg/inc/tags,~/kent/src/jkOwnLib/tags syntax on filetype indent plugin on set modeline au FileType python setlocal tabstop=8 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 set background=dark set wildmode=longest,list,full set wildmenu </code></pre> <p>And here is the output from <code>vim --version</code>:</p> <pre><code>VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Feb 8 2012 10:41:54) Included patches: 1-434 Compiled by John St. John Normal version without GUI.
