Re: Unusable keys in vim 7.3

Hi,

I was doing the following finally which is fixing my issue. I have checked which package contains the /etc/vimrc file and I have delted all the /etc/vimrc* files, after that I have reinstalled the vim-common package and it has solved my problem. Without spending too much time on the investigation, i guess when I upgraded to 7.3 the old vimrc just did not get replaced and it might have been causing this issue.

Thank for the support.

Regards,

I.

 

Can you try running vim in the GNOME Terminal and see if the problem
persists?

Different terminals may use different sequences of characters to
represent those keys.  Problems such as you're seeing often result
from a mismatch between what the terminal is sending to Vim and what
Vim is expecting.

Each terminal sets (or should set) the TERM environment variable.
This points to a database (the terminfo database) that describes the
character sequences that the terminal sends and understands for
various functions including the Home, End, etc. keys.  Vim uses TERM
to access that database and to determine how to communicate with the
terminal.

I can't think of anything that an update to Vim would have done to
Vim's behavior with respect to its terminal interface.  If you
updated other things, perhaps the value of TERM changed, the
configurations of PuTTY and/or xterm changed, or the terminfo
database changed.  It could also be that you made some change to a
Vim configuration file that was overwritten by the update or that
Vim now ignores because you made the change to a file under
/usr/share/vim/vim72 and Vim is now using /usr/share/vim/vim73.

You can see if those keys are sending anything at all to Vim by
entering insert mode, then typing Ctrl-K followed by one of those
keys.  If that doesn't show anything, try with Ctrl-V instead of
Ctrl-K.

Thanks for all the information you sent.  That was perfect.

Regards,
Gary
