Subject: help on vi


Hi,


I have installed vi on my terminal

My terminal type is ansi.

But for moving my cursor I still have to use h ,,j ,k ,l  keys instead of my
arrow keys.

But I have noticed on certain other unix systems that arrow  keys are used
for this purpose. Which file should I modify & how should I do it?

Any immediate help will be highly appreciated...

Thnks

Rakesh

This list is for help with gcc. This question is unrelated to gcc. It
  should have been sent to a vi help forum, like vim@vim.org, or the
  newsgroup comp.editors.

(Many people on this list use emacs, kdevelop, ed, cat, or some other
  editor, and (like me) cannot answer vi questions.) 

I believe Pascal Bleser answered your question.

In fact, it depends on *which* vi you have installed.
Take vim or elvis, they rock ;)

If you have Linux, they're certainly both shipped with your
distribution.
If not, download the sources and compile...
