#10658 closed defect (invalid)

VI doesn't allow backspace over newlines

Keywords: vi backapce busybox Cc:

Description

When editing any text file, such as /etc/config/network, with vi (that is busybox's vi) you can not backspace a new line. This makes it impossible to delete a line of text. Backspacing regular characters works fine though.

Press 'esc' then 'dd' to delete the actual line.

Learn "uci" to edit /etc/config/network, not vi.

uci show network
uci add network alias
uci set network.@alias[-1].interface=wan
uci set network.@alias[-1].layer=1
uci set network.@alias[-1].proto=static
uci set network.@alias[-1].ipaddr=192.168.0.130
uci set network.@alias[-1].netmask=255.255.255.0
uci delete network.eth1
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

Here is where you need one of the tags "RTFM" or "lusererror". Then we have some twirp who removed the closed status. Ugh.
