Documentation

If t, Ex-style behavior while editing in Vi command and insert states.

Backspace and Delete don't cross line boundaries in insert. X and x can't delete characters across line boundary in Vi, etc. Note: this doesn't preclude Backspace and Delete from deleting characters by moving past the insertion point. This is a feature, not a bug.

If nil, the above commands can work across lines.
