When calling the default install of vim-tiny as 'vim <file>', I believe
arrow-key navigation works, however, when calling as 'vi <file>', vim
behaves as the old-school vi (h,j,k,l) and the use of arrow-keys will
output control characters.
dpkg -l vim* |grep ^ii
Will likely only show vim-tiny installed.
aptitude install vim
Will get you the full-featured vim software and 'vi <file>' should work
by default with arrow navigation.
Kind Regards,
Michael
