vim keybindings
« on: November 07, 2009, 03:36:45 PM »
So it seems that ctrl+ left,right,up, down don't map properly in tinycore.
I would very much like to be able to map these keys in vim.
Instead, pressing those keys inserts the letters a through d above the current line.

Anyone know a solution to this?

Is this is a tty or in X? Do you have a non-US keyboard?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

In X, using US layout. It works fine in Linux Mint (which uses xterm) but not in TC (Which appears to se rxvt). I can see via google that rxvt seems to handle ctrl+arrows slightly different to xterm, but nothing that seems to be a solution for vim.

Arrows work without <ctrl>.  'w' and 'b' will move forward, back by word instead of space.  Puppy uses rxvt, and the ctrl + <-->   act like b/w  . ... probably can be set in .vimrc  

edit:  <shift> + <-->  moves like b/w

Jumping back and forward by word isn't what I want them for. Hm, but puppy has it working? Thanks, I'll see if I can work out how they do it.

EDIT: Found my solution:
Code: [Select]
map <Esc>Oa <C-W>k
map <Esc>Ob <C-W>j
map <Esc>Oc <C-W>l
map <Esc>Od <C-W>h
This gives me the behaviour I was after. =)
