Package: vim Version: 1:6.4-006+1 Severity: normal With the line:
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim in your .vimrc the command "behave mswin" gets executed. And you should be able to enter the visual mode by pressing SHIFT-ARROW (like in every other modern editor). But this does not work with vim under a console (neither KDE-Konsole nor plain Linux console). But under gvim the selection works as expected. I've googled around and did not find a reason (or hint) why ms-style selection works with gvim but not with "plain" vim. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-21 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii vim-common 1:6.4-006+1 Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-runtime 1:6.4-006+1 Vi IMproved - Runtime files vim recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
