Vim understands the xterm style key sequences when the TERM variable is set
to xterm*. But since tmux sets it to screen instead, vim fails to recognize
these keys. But this is easily fixable (and should be documented in the man
page if not already done IMO).
First, you need to enable the xterm-keys option using:
setw -g xterm-keys on
Add the following snippet within your .vimrc so that vim recognizes these
xterm style key sequences
if &term =~ '^screen' && exists('$TMUX')
" Mouse mode
set mouse+=a
set ttymouse=xterm2
" tmux sends xterm-style keys when xterm-keys option is on
execute "set <xUp>=\e[1;*A"
execute "set <xDown>=\e[1;*B"
execute "set <xRight>=\e[1;*C"
execute "set <xLeft>=\e[1;*D"
execute "set <xHome>=\e[1;*H"
execute "set <xEnd>=\e[1;*F"
execute "set <Insert>=\e[2;*~"
execute "set <Delete>=\e[3;*~"
execute "set <PageUp>=\e[5;*~"
execute "set <PageDown>=\e[6;*~"
execute "set <xF1>=\e[1;*P"
execute "set <xF2>=\e[1;*Q"
execute "set <xF3>=\e[1;*R"
execute "set <xF4>=\e[1;*S"
execute "set <F5>=\e[15;*~"
execute "set <F6>=\e[17;*~"
execute "set <F7>=\e[18;*~"
execute "set <F8>=\e[19;*~"
execute "set <F9>=\e[20;*~"
execute "set <F10>=\e[21;*~"
execute "set <F11>=\e[23;*~"
execute "set <F12>=\e[24;*~"
endif
