Purpose: Add support for {rhs} of keyboard numeric keypad while in vim insert mode and using PuTTY as a SSH terminal connection. What to do: Add these mappings to your _vimrc or _gvimrc. PuTTY's default terminal type is xterm. Check your settings or just echo $TERM at the command prompt on most unix systems to verify xterm type. Code to add to _vimrc: :imap ^[Oq 1 :imap ^[Or 2 :imap ^[Os 3 :imap ^[Ot 4 :imap ^[Ou 5 :imap ^[Ov 6 :imap ^[Ow 7 :imap ^[Ox 8 :imap ^[Oy 9 :imap ^[Op 0 :imap ^[On . :imap ^[OQ / :imap ^[OR * :imap ^[Ol + :imap ^[OS - Any questions about vim and PuTTY please send to [email protected].

You might also want to include the mappings for the normal mode as well. For example, going to a specific line #+shift G will not work unless you put these additional mappings in _vimrc. :map ^[Oq 1 :map ^[Or 2 :map ^[Os 3 :map ^[Ot 4 :map ^[Ou 5 :map ^[Ov 6 :map ^[Ow 7 :map ^[Ox 8 :map ^[Oy 9 :map ^[Op 0

Sadly, this does not work for me (vim v6.1.265, TERM=xterm). Using these mappings, vim resorts to the regular behaviour of inserting a new character on the previous line.

Additionally, those of you that are having issues with the keypad can remap it using the following command sequence in your vimrc file: :imap ^[0A <Up> :imap ^[0A <Down> :imap ^[0A <Left> :imap ^[0A <Right> These settings also seemed to correct the quirk of the mode text (or whatever it is properly called: --INSERT--) not showing up at the bottom of the screen when in insert mode.

Maybe a simpler way to do this in PuTTY's settings: Set "Disable application keypad mode" under Terminal-->Features.
