I keep getting a very annoying problem in Visual Studio. When I try to delete some text by pressing backspace it doesn't work. Why is this? What is going on? Sometimes I have to close and open Visual Studio to make this problem go away but I just tried that right now and it didn't work. Backspace works in Notepad in case you are wondering.

You need to configure PuTTY to interpret backspace correctly. You can do it for the current session by right clicking on the PuTTY title bar, selecting Change Settings..., clicking on the word "Keyboard" below the Terminal item, and set the "Backspace key" entry to "Control-H".
In Visual Studio go to:
Tools Options Environment Keyboard Backspace should start working for you again.
