Could you give more details about 1) and 2)? Vim doesn't automatically
translate ~+a or '+o to other characters. You can enter those use
ctrl-k ~ a or ctrl-k ' o.
I have a Portuguese (pt_PT) keyboard.
CHARSET=iso8859-1
COUNTRY=pt_PT
LANG=pt_PT
Appending a "set nocompatible" to my $HOME/.vimrc solved the problem.
Still, it worked "automagically" (i.e. without having to add this
line) on vim-6.4-007+1 (Debian), but not on vim-7.0-017+4. Maybe a
different configuration file (don't know which one it should be). So,
doing "set nocompatible" works for me on 7.0.

This is as intended. vi invokes Vim in vi-compatible mode (:help
'compatible') which doesn't understand using the cursor keys.
