Alt-I is not a standard Vim binding. You might try to see how it is
defined and by what:
:verbose map <M-I>
:verbose map! <M-I>
(both with and without the exclamation mark, and while editing the file
where you expected to use the Alt-I combo, not while looking at the
help). Then you may remap the same {rhs} to a different {lhs} which Vim
is more likely to see in all terminals, e.g. F7 which is about
vertically above the I on a QWERTY, QWERTZ or AZERTY keyboard.
Or you can even take advantage of the fact that mappings defined without
"nore-" will reinterpret their {rhs} for further mappings:
:map <F7> <M-I>
:map! <F7> <M-I>
(Some terminals and some window managers don't pass all key combos to
programs running in them. Also, Alt-letter combinations are usually
mapped to menus, and your mlterm might just have a menu starting in I.)
Best regards,
Tony.
