Hello, I'm having a strange terminal problem with a FreeBSD server of mine. I am connecting to the machine through SSH with a KDE konsole, and my terminal type is set to xterm-color. First of all, under vim, my home and end keys do not work properly. Vim likely interprets them as if I'd hit escape, because vim will exit insert mode when either of those keys are pressed. Second, and more importantly, the arrow keys do not function correctly when in insert mode. Up, down, right, and left place the letters A, B, C, and D, respectively, and a new line. My vim version is 6.0. I've tried back to version 4.0 and the most recent 6.1, but all exhibit this behaviour. The arrow-key problem appears to be a vim-only problem, as using them under insert mode in vi results in no problems (although the home and end keys still don't work). All of my non-FreeBSD servers do not have this problem. I've tried setting my term environment variable to xterm, xterm-color, xterm-xfree86, xterm-r6, vt100, vt220, ansi, and cons25. None fix the problem. I've also tried replacing my termcap with a termcap from one of my (non-FreeBSD) servers that do work. But after rebuilding the database, the problems still exist. Any help would most certainly be appreciated, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
