Thanks Giorgos, I have localized the probelem. I have this:
if ($?prompt) then
# An interactive shell -- set some stuff up
set filec
set history = 100
set savehist = 100
set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)
stty erase ^?
if ( $?tcsh ) then
bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
endif
endif
Note the stty statement appended in the middle of the stock (skel)
.cshrc. I added it at one point to fix backspace/delete problems for
some terminal emulator. When I comment it out, the vi/fmt macro works
nicely. Why is it problematic here though? Should this be done in,
say, .login instead?
Also, sort of related, how can I map ctrl-j to the fmt macro? I can't
seem to send a literal ctrl-j to vi (to put it into .exrc). Typing
ctrl-v ctrl-j gives me a carriage return. I can do this in .vimrc,
which vim likes:
:map <Char-0x0A> !}fmt
