[vim/vim] How to fix `vim` sometimes starting in `REPLACE` mode? (Discussion #18608)
Björn Kautler
On this box I'm using Git Bash in Windows Terminal.
I have fzf around.
Together with its bash-integration.
And additionally fzf-git.sh.
The Bash integration for both is enabled by having
eval "$(fzf --bash)" source $(dirname "$BASH_SOURCE")/fzf-git.sh
in ~/bash_completion.d/fzf.bash.
When I start vim normally, all is fine.
But if I use Ctrl+G Ctrl+F inside a Git worktree to start the file mode of fzf-git.sh,
and there use Alt+E to start the editor on a file with EDITOR set to vim,
vim starts in REPLACE mode.
Having skimmed through #6365,
I tried to set export EDITOR="vim --cmd \"call ch_logfile('logfile', 'w')\"" to get the according logging and tried with the working and broken invocations.
The logfile from the working invocation has raw key input: "�[2;2R�[3;1R"
while the broken invocation has raw key input: "[2;2R�[3;1R".
So in the broken case there is a missing escape character which then causes the first R to be interpreted as starting REPLACE mode.
But I'm unsure how to progress from here.
How can I find out why this is happening / how to fix it / where to report an actionable bug report.
