Description Dale Lovelace 2000-03-04 17:26:20 UTC 
In Red Hat Linux 6.1 both the "home" and "end" keys would take you to
either the beginning or end of the line. In vim-*-5.6-10 the behavior of
these keys has changed. These tests were performed as user "root" with no
.vimrc.

/bin/vi (vim-minimal)
  At The Console:
    The "home" key behaves as excpected.
    The "end" key changes the case of the character the cursor is on.

  In X:
    Both the "home" and "end" key works as expected.

/usr/bin/vim (from vim-enhanced)
  At The Console:
    Both the "home" and "end keys change the case of the character the
	cursor is on.

  In X:
    Both the "home" and "end keys change the case of the character the
	cursor is on.

Preston, can you please handle this asap? Thanks,
Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-03-05 09:23:59 UTC 
I can't reproduce this problem on the console; must be related to the
recent xterm changes. :/
And what's worse, over the weekend I'm stuck with a 486SX notebook
that can't run X so I can't do anything about it until tomorrow.
