title: How can I fix my delete key in VIM over ssh? (Mac OS X)
body: <p>When I use VIM in the terminal on my local machine (Mac OS X Snow Leopard), the delete key is really backspace (i.e., destructive backspace).</p>
  
  <p>When I SSH into a particular server, for some reason it's regular delete (i.e., delete the character under the cursor).</p>
  
  <p>How can I change it to be consistent?  I've tried a dozen solutions, but nothing seems to work.</p>
  
  <p>Checking the "Delete sends Ctrl-H" box in Terminal Preferences->Advanced doesn't work -- this is non-destructive backspace.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried about a hundred different key mappings in VIM, to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Interestingly, the key works as expected when I'm typing commands in VIM (e.g., <code>: &lt;something&gt;</code>) -- it's only screwed up when I'm editing the actual text. Any ideas?</p>
