Using arrow keys with vim in FreeBSD: spurious characters
The Problem
In FreeBSD, when using vim in INSERT mode, using the arrow keys results in
the characters A, B, C or D being inserted.
The Solution
In .vimrc include the setting :set nocompatible. This solves the problem.
(Further discussion of the problem available here).
