@Will: You're right. The arrow keys also work when I log-in as a user without a ~/.vimrc file and manually :set nocompatible after starting Vim. Sorry for the noise I guess.
One thing though, the above implies to me that the problem is inside my own ~/.vimrc script (correct?) but I don't understand what kind of setting could cause this, and how the workaround I posted above could possibly restore the cursor key functionality?! -- Using arrow keys in vim-tiny while in Insert mode introduces A,B,C,D into text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491615 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
