>Number: 2510
>Category: bin
>Synopsis: arrow keys (escape codes) are dropped
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: low
>Responsible: freebsd-bugs
>State: open
>Class: change-request

>Arrival-Date: Thu Jan 16 17:40:01 PST 1997

>Originator: Steven G. Kargl
>Organization:
Applied Physics Lab
>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD 2.2-SNAP (October vintage) connected to a FreeBSD-current
via ppp and a 14.4k modem.
>Description:
Using arrow keys in vi will result in an A, B, C, or D inserted in the
text rather than the intended motion of move right, left, up, or down.
The .exrc file contains:
map! ^[[A ^[ka
map! ^[[B ^[ja
map! ^[[C ^[la
map! ^[[D ^[ha
map! ^[OA ^[ka
map! ^[OB ^[ja
map! ^[OC ^[la
map! ^[OD ^[ha
to map the key arrow keys to the h, j, k, l motion key.
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit any file over a slow connection with vi and try to move
through the file with arrow keys.
>Fix:
Increase the default escapetime from 300ms to 600ms.
