[explanation of why this happens, deleted]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try putting this in your .exrc file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
map! ^[OA ^[ka
|
||
|
|
map! ^[OB ^[ja
|
||
|
|
map! ^[OC ^[la
|
||
|
|
map! ^[OD ^[ha
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where ^[ is the Esape character (^V Escape)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone else have any handy hints like this?

Sometimes, when you are in command mode, you will notice that
|
||
|
|
arrow key insert 'B', or 'C', or other letters. It comes from the
|
||
|
|
fact that your arrow keys give the sequence ^[OA (or B,C,D), but
|
||
|
|
too slowly to be understood. Try to set the timeout variable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:set notimeout (or :set noto)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will notice that when you press Esc key after that, vi
|
||
|
|
doesn't switch immediatly. You just have to keep on typing, so vi
|
||
|
|
see that you are not using arrow keys.

Also, put in a similar set of lines for other types of terminals:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
map! ^[[A ^[ka
|
||
|
|
map! ^[[B ^[ja
