Package: pinentry-curses Version: 0.9.7-9 Followup-For: Bug #509554 Dear Maintainer,
I still experience this issue with the vim-gnupg[1] plugin after I disable a workaround[2,3] its author added. JFYI I disable the workaround because it has side effects[4]. So I looks like no proper solution was found in pinentry-curses (or vim?). This is how to reproduce the issue with vim 8.0, assuming you are not using the vim-gnupg plugin already. 1. Download the vim-gpg plugin and disable the workaround: $ mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/pinentry-curses_test/start/ $ cd ~/.vim/pack/pinentry-curses_test/start/ $ git clone https://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg.git $ sed -e 's/[^"]\(let &term = &term\)/"\1/' -i vim-gnupg/plugin/gnupg.vim 2. Create an encrypted file and open it with the vim-gnupg plugin and pinentry-ncurses: $ sudo update-alternatives --set pinentry /usr/bin/pinentry-curses $ echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent $ (echo LINE1 ; echo LINE2) | gpg -e > encrypted.gpg $ vim encrypted.gpg The arrow keys in vim do not work anymore.
