I'm using Vim under Debian, Win Vista and WinXP (the latter two with Cygwin).
To handle tabs more easily, I mapped <C-Left>
and <C-Right>
to :tab(prev|next)
. This mapping works like a charm on the Debian machine.
On the Windows machines, however, pressing <C-Left>
deletes 5 lines, as far as I can tell, and meddles with cursor position, while <C-Right>
does this, too, and additionally enters Insert mode.
Question: To put it in a nutshell, how can I find out, why Vim behaves as it does? Is there a way to backtrace the active commands and keystrokes? Could there be a plugin the culprit? (I didn't install one, perhaps a default include by the Cygwin distro...) If so, how can I find it?
Additional Diagnosis:
This behaviour occurs regardless of any existing
~/.vimrc
file (is therefore not related to my above mentioned mapings) and is not inherited of some/etc/vim/vimrc
, since this doesn't exist in the default Cygwin installation.:verbose map
doesn't yield any new insights. Either nothing or my mentioned mappings appear, based on the existence of the .vimrc file:help <C-Left>
suggests, that the default would be a simple cursor movement, which is apparently not the case.Vim's version under Cygwin:
