When I connect using the built-in WinXP/Win2k telnet
client I am able to get color in vim console sessions
without any problems, and everything seems to be working
very well.
Except for one (minor) annoyance -- every time I press
enter in insert mode I get two line-fees (as if it was
pressed twice).
I suspect this is a telnet thing...that you have CR<->CR/LF
translation enabled for the connection; that your telnet
software is doing a translation of your single CR into a
CR/LF which gets passed to vim.
If this is the case, I might expect to see this in other
places too during your telnet session...such as, at the
command line, when you type
c:\>dir[enter]
[results]
c:\>[not pressing enter here, but geting an empty prompt as
if you did]
c:\>
You might have to look for an option hiding somewhere in
your telnet app or telnet server regarding how it handles
CR<->CR/LF translation and disable it for the connection.
Another vimternal (vim+internal?) solution might be to map
<c-j> to <nop>, assuming Vim distinguishes between a ^M
(what you want) and a ^J (what telnet seems to be inserting).
:inoremap <c-j> <nop>
I'd then check your mappings to see if it properly
distinguishes between them, or if it's changed it to
<cr> <nop>
behind the scenes.
Just a few ideas,
