Here is my .exrc
file, which I customized for
a VT100 terminal.
It is set up for C and nroff -me
macros.
[Strings like ^[OD
are
set by the cursor keys (41.12
)
on VT100-type terminals.
Make the ^[
by typing [CTRL-v]
[ESC]
.
Many vi
versions make this easier; they understand
map #1
(31.2
)
to mean "map function key F1."-JP

I can use the cursor keys while inputting text. This is handy
because I can back up and add text without pressing
ESC.
[Though you
may not be able to (31.3
)
undo your previous change with the u
command.

]
Also, I have defined [F1]
to append at the end of the line.
This is useful because it doesn't matter what mode you are in,
it always puts you in text-input mode.
At one time, I mapped the entire numeric keypad to emulate the EDT editor.
