Hi,

This probably sound like a trivial question. I recently upgraded from
10.2 - 10.3, and I use the Terminal a lot.

I always set the key bindings to 'vi' mode with 'bindkey -v' in the
.cshrc file. Normally, I can use the vi movement keys, but also the
arrow keys to move about. However, when I now launch the Terminal, the
cursor keys are disabled. I can only use the 'h,j,k,l' keys to
navigate. This is'nt such a big deal, but if I use certain
applications, such as Midnight Commander in the shell, I can't move
about, as I have no cursor keys and I can't move about...you get the
drift.

Any ideas how to get back to how it was before, as everything was
great...

Thanks
Neil.

Why not get rid of vi mode and go for the semi-emacs built-in
mode?  Are you sure that your TERM variable is set correctly to
an ansi compliant name?
