Vim using wrong colors

• VIM: Backspace deletes in normal mode, but does nothing in insert mode.

  Preliminary Info:

  • Issue is in terminal Vim, not gVim
  • I used CMDER (based on conemu) as my terminal emulator
  • I am on Windows 10

  Detailed Description:

  When I'm in Insert mode, I can type text as normal, but backspace does nothing. While in normal mode, the backspace key deletes text. This is exactly opposite the behavior I had just earlier today. I have read numerous other posts online describing Vim's unorthodox backspace behavior, but the suggested config settings (namely bs=2 or bs=indent,eol,start) had done nothing.

  More unusual is that gVim behaves "normally" that is: Backspace move the cursor to the left in normal mode, and deletes text in insert mode.

  What I would like is for backspace to delete text in insert mode (just like most other programs) and to be navigation/disabled in normal mode. How can I regain this behavior?

  Below is a copy of my _vimrc: (I would put this on github but my git is messed up at the moment and I've yet to fix it.) Additionally there was a function that was inside of the _vimrc by default. I have no idea what it does but omitted it to save space. If you want to see if I can post it in a reply.

• Linux terminal type brackets and many zeros automatically follow

  When I type a brackets quickly in terminal or Vim, i.e. shift+9 & shift+0, then many zeros are automatically typed after, until I type manually key, then it will stop. I have checked that it's not the key button's problem. I cannot figure out why this strange thing happen.

  
• How to autocomplete in vim based off partial matching via ctags

  Example:

  In a file in another directory I have a function defined by the following:

  def _generator_function_1(self):
     passs
  

  In the file of my current directory, I have typed the following:

  def test_generI
  

  where I denotes my cursor position.

  I would like to use vim's autocompletion functionality (i.e. via ^n or ^p) to autocomplete the function definition to test_generator_function_1. Is there a way of configuring vim autocompletion to match not based off full-prefixes? Or, is there a way in ctags to generate tags based off keywords instead of full function definitions?

  EDIT: To clarify, I am specifically wondering if keyword-based autocompletion exists. I have autocompletion by tags setting up, so if I typed "_gen", then ^n would complete to give me "_generator_function_1". In my example, however, it is because the string is prefixed by "test" that "test_gener" as the starting typed word does not lead to any autocomplete suggestions. So I am wondering if this can somehow be made possible.

• Plotting many graphs with different and distinguishable colors

  I have this plotting loop and I want to assign different colors to that. Now it considers only the colors that it wants. So, when N increases, the colors of some of the graphs are the same. So distinguishing between them is really hard. How can I dedicate different colors to the different graphs?

  N=24 and is the number of the graphs.

  for i=1:N 
      plot(time(1:350),STDX(1:350,i),'lineWidth',3) 
  hold on 
  end
  
• Change default color space of Xcode 9

  I'm aware that there is already a quite similar question to this, however I could not find any answer. I like using the Color LCD color space because it's more saturated, unfortunately I would have to select it for every color I'm using because I can't find a possibility to set is as default color space.

  Any suggestions on how to do it?

• Add font to Gnome Terminal?

  In a recent package update for Gnome Terminal, Noto fonts disappeared from font choices listed in Settings. I have looked, but found no answer. Noto Sans Mono Regular, and all other Monos associated w/ Noto, are listed as Mono within every file I can find on my computer.

  How can I get Gnome Terminal to list Noto's Mono fonts in terminal, again?
• Perform command in new Terminal (Ubuntu 17.10)

  I am partly confused and am quite sure I suck at googling, b/c this should be quite a common issue, but I only found solutions way above that I am looking for, not for the base case.

  Here's the problem: Inside a terminal/script, I want to start another terminal where a program/command is run. When I try gnome-terminal -e ls or

  gnome-terminal --command=ls
  

  It tells me that these commands are depreciated, but I do not know what else to use. In the end, I want to use this for a script like this, where I can put a gnome-terminal before each command so I get the result in different windows

  #!/bin/dash
  ~/ngrok/ngrok http 8080
  sudo ~/MailCatcher/MailHog_linux_amd64 -smtp-bind-addr 0.0.0.0:25
  

  Just running gnome-terminal ls leads to the opening of a new terminal, but the ls command is not exectued

  then I pressed ctrl + d and close the terminal. When I reopen the terminal ,my terminal was showing empty terminal:

  

  now the terminal is not running any command and showing nothing in it.
