Re: vim Keybindings
The original vi is doing this as well? If not you should write to the port maintainer and the developers.

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@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
