Public bug reported:
I launch vim by typing it's name. Inside vim I type :help word[CTRL-D]
EXPECTED RESULT: search the vim documentation
ACTUAL RESULT: I get the : command history
The CTRL-D sequence is described in the :help help file. This is a very
important feature for me and I suspect other vim users. This problem
does not exist on 10.04.
WORKAROUND: tab key instead of CTRL-D, but this isn't mentioned in the
documentation.
I can start vim either in a gnome-terminal with or without byobu running
screen, I can also start via a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-F2
and I get the same result. All three entries of vim :set term?. vim
:echo $TERM and vim :!echo $TERM are consistent in both cases, as screen
in the first case and linux in the second case. With all three in
agreement there is only the vim configuration left for interpreting the
following command, right?
