RE: strange vi
"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

That worked. 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.
Thanks!
