To answer my own question, I have a workaround that should work until Ubuntu is brought up to vim 2:7.2.436.
1) Download sql.diff from debbugs #560083. 2) Make a copy of the system-wide vim runtime: cp -a /usr/share/vim/vim72 /tmp/vim-runtime 3) Apply sql.diff to the copy of vim runtime: cd /tmp/vim-runtime; patch -p2 < /tmp/sql.diff 4) patch will report that autoload/sqlcomplete.vim and ftplugin/sql.vim were updated. Copy these to ~/.vim: mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload && cp /tmp/vim-runtime/autoload/sqlcomplete.vim ~/.vim/autoload; mkdir -p ~/.vim/ftplugin && cp /tmp/vim-runtime/ftplugin/sql.vim Now arrows should work when editing a sql file. -- vim loses left/right cursor keys in insert mode when editing SQL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
