Hello,
Launch Vim (not gvim) from a gnome terminal.
Turn some pages and press Ctrl-Home to go to top of file. The result
is the same as typing Home alone (start of line).
Ctrl-Home/Ctrl-End works correctly with vim launched from a KDE
Konsole terminal or from an xterm terminal.
It seems not to be a vim problem but rather gnome-terminal environment
generating the same esc sequence with Ctrl-Home as with Home.
Has anybody had this problem? Do you know a work-around?
Thanks,
Jean Johner
I guess the workaround, in this case, is to use either a different
terminal (such as xterm, or maybe konsole) or gvim itself (which gets
keyboard events directly from X11 without them being interpreted by a
terminal).
Or else, go to top of file with gg or to end of file with G (or with G$
or G<End> if you want to go to the end, not the start, of the last
line). (That's in Normal mode; in Insert mode, prefix gg or G or G<End>
with a Ctrl-O). IIUC, these Normal-mode commands were inherited from an
editor which could run even on keyboards marketed before those fancy
cursor movement keys were invented ;-).
On my system, gnome-terminal and mlterm have Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End
synonymous with Home and End respectively; xterm, konsole and gvim (the
latter, with GTK2/Gnome2 GUI) don't.
Best regards,
Tony.
