Quite possibly. In any case it is certainly because of _different_
support by Terminator compared to uxterm. On Linux you could also try
xterm, mlterm, konsole, Terminal, gnome-terminal, or at least any of
them that are installed on your system; and maybe others: these are the
ones I know about.

The difference between gvim and all the rest is that gvim needs no
terminal interface between it and the console: it is its own terminal,
so to speak, and so it has a better mastery of all aspects of input and
output (including key events OT1H and character glyph shaping OTOH) than
does Console Vim.
