Re: Weird cursors behaviour when using vim in terminal in insert mode

Ja I got where is the problem.
I have these keymaps for the completion popmenu:
inoremap <expr> <Esc> pumvisible() ? "\<C-e>" : "\<Esc>"
inoremap <expr> <CR> pumvisible() ? "\<C-y>" : "\<CR>"
inoremap <expr> <Down> pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" : "\<Down>"
inoremap <expr> <Up> pumvisible() ? "\<C-p>" : "\<Up>"
inoremap <expr> <PageDown> pumvisible() ?
"\<PageDown>\<C-p>\<C-n>" : "\<PageDown>"
inoremap <expr> <PageUp> pumvisible() ? "\<PageUp>\<C-p>\<C-n>"
: "\<PageUp>"

I got them from the vim wiki, so I am not sure why they are breaking
my cursors when working from a terminal.
It is supposed that if pop menu is not visible they just return the
same key isnt it?
