[Feisty] problems with vim and shortcuts

sorry the above version information is outdated, actually i have:

$ aptitude show vim-full
Package: vim-full
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:7.0-164+1ubuntu7

but still the same

when i set the shortcut from <S-F4> to <F4> it works as expected

I don't think this is a bug in vim. It should work when using gvim.

Instead, it might have something to do with gnome-terminal or xterm simulating F13 through F16 by Shift-F1 through Shift-F4. However, you could just change your mappings to whatever Ctrl-V followed by pressing shift-F4 returns.

Thanks for your input, since i am really stuck on this.

After testing a little it seems you are right. in konsole (kde) everything works as desired.

so what can we do about it?

additional information:
even konsole opened inside gnome does it right.

So is it a gnome-terminal thing?

I think I can't really help you here since I don't know what kind of terminal gnome-terminal tries to emulate. So this behavior could be fully intended or this could be a bug. Who knows...
You could try filing a bug on gnome-terminal upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) and find out.

done:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418732

additional information:

open gnome-terminal
open vim
type a few words
press shift+arrow_left or shift+arrow_right
instead of skipping a word it will write:
1;2D (For shift+arrow_left)
and
1;2C (for shift+arrow_right)
shift+arrow_up and shift+arrow_down are also bugged.

setting bugstatus to confirmed

the bug looks somewhat similar to bug #96676

Yes it seems to be caused from the same source.

Should we mark it as dup then (we have upstream bugs in both bugreports) ?

maybe let upstream decide if they consider it as a duplicate or not

upstream update:
------------------------------------------------

This seems to work for me now. Fixed?

Same here, but I forgot to report back here ... sorry. :-/

Seems like it was a vte bug after all, as gnome-terminal-2.18.1 didn't fix it,
but the latest vte-0.16.8 did - yeah! Upgrading to vte-0.16.8 brought back the
Ctrl+Up/Down/Left/Right functionality in mc immediately, and the Shift-Fn
function keys also worked again after relearning them in mc (F9 -> Options ->
Learn Keys).

Big thanks to whoever found and fixed that annoying bug - gnome-terminal is now
finally usable again with mc! :-)
------------------------------------------------

as it seems in vte-0.16.8 the bug is solved.
If i am not wrong that´s the version in gutsy.

currently no working gutsy here - can someone confirm?

is that a duplicate of bug #89660?

Yes ( the upstream bugreport the both launchpad bugs are connected to, are the same #418732 @ gnme.org)

Thank you for ponting to this report - i will check the backported/updated packages for feisty to see if they solve it here.

I have installed:

$ aptitude show libvte-common | grep -A 2 "State: installed"
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:0.16.8-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1

$ aptitude show libvte9 | grep -A 2 "State: installed"
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:0.16.8-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1

$ aptitude show python-vte | grep -A 2 "State: installed"
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:0.16.8-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1

from those repo mentioned in #89660.

But Shift+F1 inside vim still gives: 1;2P

so those packages doesn´t solve it.
(...and i am trying to get rid of them now...)

the packges from both repos mentioned in #89660 doesn´t work here.
