           Summary: vim: arrows doesn't work in insert mode
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom
          Platform: ARM
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: watashi.metan at gmail.com


Vim installed from:

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/feed/armv5te/base/vim_7.0-r1_armv5te.ipk

doesn't work with arrow keys in insert mode and instead of this it writes
A
B
C
D
into text. It's because vim is by default set to vi compatible mode. I suggest
to ship with vim also /etc/vim/vimrc file like in gentoo or debian do; that set
vim to nocompatible mode. Copying vimrc from gentoo to /etc/vim/vimrc doesn't
help ( may be global configuration is not enabled by compilation? ), copying it
to ~/.vimrc fixed this issue and enables standard vim features like color
syntax and so.
