Hello again,
Using "VT300 Mode, 7 Bit Controls" Gets the "cursor" keys and "most" Special Keys working. For instance "htop" and Function Keys stuff like that. But ....
Using VIM is a different thing. Here the Cursor Keys are producing garbled output, switching between modes and in generall things that you do not like to have :-).
I am pretty used to using "hjkl" but from time to time I touch the cursor keys by accident. Does anybody solved this problem already.
Another thing ist "ESC". CRTL-3 is working fine. Using a single key would be even better.
Regards
Michael

This solves it ! Terminal Settings is vt300 (you cannot choose 320). The is now the same as TERM=vt300.

Yep. Amber is definitiv the best. These things are not very common in germany any more. It took me approx. 3 Years to find this one

When I use a DECterm (as opposed to a DEC terminal), I often set the
background to black and the foreground to green!

I have a VT102, some VT220s, a VT420, some VT510s and VT520s. However,
my favourites are the several VT 320s I have. I have them in green,
amber, and white.

That's a nice collection! I tried to downsize, but they tend to come

back. I have one each of VT100, VT220, VT320, and VT420. The bulk of a
