This is relevant when your 'formatoptions' has o.
From :h fo-table, "Automatically insert the current comment leader after hitting 'o' or 'O' in Normal mode."
I like this behavior enough to keep the o option, however at times I want to NOT insert the comment chars, and although manually deleting the added chars is not hard I present these simple mappings that delete the added chars automatically.
(from my .vimrc)
nnoremap go o<esc>S
nnoremap gO O<esc>S
This makes go open a new line under the cursor and removes inserted chars, while gO opens a new line above the cursor and removes inserted chars.
Your mileage will vary of course (:
Happy VIMing!

It should be noted that the go mapping presented above will interfere with VIM's default go (Go to {count} byte in the buffer; :h go) command.
There should be a much more elegant way of achieving the same effect, but I am currently unaware of what it might be.

I look everywhere for a solution to this problem. My work around is to use Ctrl-W (insert mode) to delete the previous word.
A side note... i find it useful to the use Ctrl-Backspace instead of Ctrl-W.
