Terminal Behavior
 

So I have one question...

I am using Konsole and when I am editing files or using less and vi in most case I can use the key board mapping to move around in vi.... IE: if I hit the END key on the keyboard it should take me to the end of the line.... In most nix (RHEL @ Work) it behaves that way... I do echo $TERM and spills out xterm which is the same as my other machines.... In order to archive the same do I have to change my keyboard mapping? Most importantly is the keyboard mapping my issue?

Thanks You for the help!

Maybe you're actually using vim at work and the real vi at home?
The original vi doesn't support a lot of things. Use vim instead.

vi is elvis http://elvis.the-little-red-haired-girl.org/ by default in Slackware

Also, if you're using the arrow keys, Home, and End in vi, you should probably learn the proper movement keys:

h: left
l: right
k: up
j: down
0: beginning of line
^: first non-whitespace character on line
$: end of line

MTK,

Thanks for your reply. I know the right commands for vi I just got use to using a specific set of keys.... I been sys admin for rhel systems for over 8yrs now and they set of keys sort of stuck to me :P

All,

Thanks for the help. Ill close this request.

Thank You,
