	vim Keybindings by Drew Tomlinson :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I'm experiencing an annoying problem with vim on FBSD 8 that I don't have on FBSD 7. Whenever I start vim, if I press the down arrow as the first key, it deletes the first line of my file and enters insert mode. All the other keys work fine and even the down arrow works fine after the first press. I've searched for help but haven't turned up anything relevant. Any ideas on what I can check?

Must be a bug. Try to remove it and to install again. Can't remember anything else if your .vimrc is OK. -- Best, Jozsef Kurucity \| Web & Graphic Designer +971 50 6783113 \| jzfk9@... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@..."

Any > ideas on what I can check? Hmm. Don't know if your machine is exactly set up as mine, so 1st, does hitting the escape key as the first key fix things? And, on a shell, hit control-V (the common shell escape key for control keys), then the down arrow, what does it print? Not sure I would be able to help, but there is often a timing issue on special function key decoding (like all of the arrow keys, or the function keys, etc) and this may tell what your down key is set for in Vim. Beyond that, Vim's environment is extremely programmable, so one would really have to look carefully through all of your environment files, beginning with vim's ~/.vimrc. If you are using any of vim's huge store of extensions, your .vimrc probably has statements to include subdirectories (perhaps of your homedir). Those files are also candidates for trouble sources. Are you having this problem on ttys, or under X11? Tried both? It's most likely something dealing with Vim, because it's unreported on FreeBSD (I know, I love vim and been using it on FreeBSD-current for years). Vim's IRC channel ("vim") is extremely good about helping on problems, like bad keymapping, they are just as good as we here on this mailing list are, but they obviously concentrate on vim. Anyways, if you answer these questions on the list or channel, folks are far more likely to be able to help you here (or on the vim channel). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@..."

In my home directory, I have created a .vimrc and tried various items from Google searches, trying to remedy this problem. Currently, it contains: syntax on set background=dark set nocompatible set esckeys > Are you having this problem on ttys, or under X11? Tried both? > I guess on ttys. Specifically, I'm using SecureCRT from a windows machine. The terminal emulation is set to Xterm. I'm not sure I ever specifically set that but I use this same software from this same machine without problems on vim 7.2 on a FBSD 6.2 install and a FBSD 7.3 install. > It's most likely something dealing with Vim, because it's unreported on > FreeBSD (I know, I love vim and been using it on FreeBSD-current for years). > Vim's IRC channel ("vim") is extremely good about helping on problems, like bad > keymapping, they are just as good as we here on this mailing list are, but they > obviously concentrate on vim.
