Hi there, It is quite embarrassing but I couldn't figure this one out.
Building vim (7.3.1314 or 7.4beta) on Debian 7.1.0 wheezy and Kubuntu 13.04 with necessary (so that it compiles) dependencies and the following configure options: --enable-pythoninterp --enable-multibyte --with-features=huge --enable-gui=no --without-x --disable-nls --with-tlib=ncurses leads to a version where one cannot exit the insert mode. After hitting ESC, vim reverts to insert mode on its own after ~1 sec and rings a bell. Hitting ESC and a colon in a quick succession enters the insert mode and inserts a colon. ".vimrc" settings seem to not matter (could be a false lead though). It doesn't matter whether it is run from within an x terminal or a console. Could anybody point me in the right direction? All help is appreciated! PS: If more information is needed, please let me know. -eth -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/permanent-insert-mode-in-compiled-vim-on-debian-kubuntu-tp5716334.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
