Re: Need help for vi on MINIX 3

[zac.3.14159]

How did you try to install vim? Via compiling from source? By installing a package? I have found that installing vim as a package, via pkgin install vim, works when compiling from source doesn't work. Are you running minix in a virtual machine such as qemu/virtual box? What keyboard layout are you using? What keymap are you using?

Hello,

I am MINIX newbie.
I am not able to use vi editor (like going to insert mode and coming back to command mode).
Also <insert>, <backspace>, <enter> keys are not working as they work in vim.

I install vim but no luck. Still I cannot enter insert mode. I tried following options to enter <insert> mode:

1. press <insert>
2. ESC + a
3. ESC + i
4.CTRL + i

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
