For example, with TERM=xterm hitting the End key in vim puts the cursor to the end of line, but with TERM=vt220 vim switches to insert mode and adds the letter F to the line above the cursor... -- Marko Vallius # PGP public key A4B84F58 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

A workaround is using 'A' to begin insertion at the end of the current line. -- Sami Samhuri pgpxDX4VPyDfQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Annoying vim / keyboard behavior
Do you have ``set nocompatible'' in the vimrc on the system with this "strange behaviour"? Just a thougth Frank On Tue, 2005-04-05 at 10:29 -0400, fire-eyes wrote: > My editor of choice is vim.

"End" is not standard thus can behave differently on different systems. Using "$" is safer and promises to behave same way regardless of system. > > No other systems do this to me.
