[Bug 1767314] Re: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly

[flashydave]

The mis-interpretation of PC cursor keys when accessed vi ssh (as
described in the discussion link above) is very remeniscent of trying to
use vim.tiny not vim.basic (which server install defaults to).  Maybe
this along with my above post will help characterise the bug.

Title:
  Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The vim default configuration in Bionic does not match Ubuntu 17.10
  nor Centos 7 and is hard to use. It auto-inserts tabs or spaces, and
  the '/' search mode command works differently (pressing enter is
  required before you can use cursors left/right).

  For some discussion, please see
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1026820/vi-vim-usage-in-ubuntu-bionic-
  not-normal/1028684#1028684

  Setting :set nocompatbile in ~/.vimrc fixes it, but this should not be
  required.
