"I'm happy I can arrow around now. I can handle the traditional vi keys alright, just mentally I tend to forget what mode I'm in if I'm not switching between arrows and home row."
word up! principally I have this problem when users clamor about with questions. One time I was editing passwd and answering someone's question when the screen was somehow filled with the same character over and over and I couldn't :e! Anyways, I don't remember how I fixed it but that's my number one problem learning how to use vi & linux better-- supporting users. Thanks to all who replied to my vi question. justin -----Original Message----- From: Rich Puhek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 11:32 AM To: Ron Johnson Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: strange vi Ron Johnson wrote: > > On Mon, 18 Feb 2002 22:44:03 -0600 Rich Puhek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Ron Johnson wrote: > > > > > > Is is console or xterm?

Thanks. Strange though, on my potato boxes, TERM=vt100, and the arrows work in nvi. Oh well... I'm happy I can arrow around now. I can handle the traditional vi keys alright, just mentally I tend to forget what mode I'm in if I'm not switching between arrows and home row.
