Here are tips for use when programming in Lisp and Visual lisp for AutoCAD.

imap <Backspace> <Left><del>
" this will allow me to always use the backspace key in insert mode

imap <C-j> <Esc>Ji
" this will allow me to join a line while still in insert mode

map .f v%zf
" fold an entire block of code

nnmap ,y <S-v>y
" This will select a whole line of text or it will select
" everything in a fold.

map .; v%:s/^/;;;/<CR>:noh<CR>
" comments out and entire block of code from paren to paren

:au BufRead *.lsp :loadview 1<CR>
:au BufRead *.LSP :loadview 1<CR>
" load the first fold view file for the current file

map st :set tw=70<CR>v<S-}>gq<End>
" this will allow you to format an entire block of text

Comments[]

Regarding imap <backspace>, you might want to see :help 'bs'.


You can also do

imap <C-j> <Esc>Ji

this way

imap <C-j> <C-o>J

Then you do not leave insert mode. You might also consider using

inoremap <C-j> <C-o>J
:help i_CTRL-O

So the tip should be changed for this:

set backspace=indent,eol,start
" allow backspacing over everything in insert mode
