  • 0

my vim is 7.0 and I can’t update it to 7.3, i don’t have the privilege.

How to produce the problem:
– in Vim, in any mode, if i keep pressing any arrow keys (either arrow keys or hjkl) it always gives this word “after”. e.g:
abcd efgh gives abcd efghafter
very stupid.
I tried to put set nocompatible and

 map ^[[A <up>  
 map ^[[B <down>  
 map ^[[C <right>  
 map ^[[D <left>`

in vimrc, doesn’t work…

Could you please help?

:map gives this:
