In vim, my arrow keys work correctly, moving up, down, left, and right as expected, with one exception. At the beginning of a line, left arrow does nothing, instead of going to the last character of the previous line. At the end of a line, right arrow does nothing, instead of going to the first character of the next line.
Is there a setting I can change to get the behavior I expect?
4I would think that most VIM users would recommend that you don't use the arrow keys. – user12612 – 2010-07-23T18:45:33.470
@user12612 why exactly? – luchonacho – 2017-09-30T19:08:39.097
@luchonacho I think the idea is that serious VIM users would hold that your fingers should not leave the home row of your keyboard in order navigate where you are in your text. – nohat – 2017-10-02T20:32:12.010
