I'm having an issue in Vim for powershell, installed with Chocolatey. Whenever I'm pressing shift and hit the backspace on my keyboard, it enters the characters Îy. I found a couple of related links which describe similar problems.

I tried adding imap Îy <BS> to my vimrc file, but the problem persists.

I would really like to find a solution to this problem as it is hurting my workflow. Any help would be appreciated.

    What does <C-v><Shift-BS> insert (in insert mode)? That should insert the exact characters Vim receives, and usually you should be be able to map it; but I don't know much about Powershell or Windows.
