I get similarly unusable key mappings as this using a very generic desktop, uk keyboard, and the edgy rc with all updates as of writing applied.
I get exactly the same as the duplicate bug 67105 whilst in a gnome- terminal and very different but equally unusable key mappings whilst in a regular terminal (Ctrl-Alt-Function-key). Work Around:- But all is well in both gnome-terminal and a regular terminal if I invoke vim.tiny not via "vi" but using "vim". p.s. my alternatives settings /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny /etc/alternatives/vim -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny Hope this helps -- Arrow keys are incorrectly mapped in vim https://launchpad.net/bugs/62980 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
