Oops! It won't work, because there's something wrong with how Vim reads
your keyboard.
So let's see if it can interpret these commands from the shell command-line:
vim --cmd 'redir ~/vim.log' --cmd 'version' -c scriptnames -c 'echo "<"
. $TERM . "<"' -c 'verbose set term? ttybuiltin?' -c 'redir END' -cqa
(all on one line). You might also try the same with -u NONE in addition,
immediately after vim.
Best regards,
Tony.
