The value of $TERM needs to be appropriate for the terminal you are actually using. Vim uses $TERM to determine the terminal's capabilities and escape sequences from your system's terminfo or termcap database. If the value of $TERM is not correct, then Vim may obtain an incorrect description of your arrow keys. What is the terminal you are using and what is the value of $TERM?
