Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-006+1
Severity: normal
With the line:
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
in your .vimrc the command "behave mswin" gets executed. And you should
be able to enter the visual mode by pressing SHIFT-ARROW (like in every
other modern editor).
But this does not work with vim under a console (neither KDE-Konsole nor
plain Linux console). But under gvim the selection works as expected.
I've googled around and did not find a reason (or hint) why ms-style
selection works with gvim but not with "plain" vim.

given the fact that linux consoles are terminals ...
a terminal is NOT a graphical application. terminal is a Unix concept.=20
Calling xterm or konsole a terminal is in fact a language abuse. those=20
should be called graphical terminal emulators, and the linux one is=20
also known as a 'virtual terminal emulator aka vte'. but it's a bit=20
hard to say, so pple just use terminal.
> Surprisingly it works fine under gvim.
because key mappings are sent to gvim through X protocol and not through=20
the terminal escape sequences (which is a complete mess).
> Hmm in order to reproduce your solution I've installed xterm and

because I didn't explain it clearly.
set t_%i=3D^[[1;2C
the ^[ has to be created typing '^V^[' and that should print ^[ in blue.
if you do that and retest the ^K<S-Right>, you'll see <S-Right>.
to know what a key sequence do, under zsh (maybe under bash too) in the=20
term that you want to test, type :
^V[your key sequence]
if nothing show up, then it's that the terminal you are using does not=20
send anything to the application that runs under it.
e.g. in konsole :
* ^V<S-Right> does nothing
* ^V<Right> does ^[[C
* ^V<PageUp> does ^[[5
in xterm :
* ^V<S-Right> does ^[[1;C
* ^V<Right> does ^[[C
* ^V<PageUp> does ^[[5
in my linux console :
* ^V<S-Right> does ^[[C
* ^V<Right> does ^[[C
* ^V<PageUp> does ^[[5
so in the linux console, Shift-Right is not recognized.
that's exaclty the reason why vim does not uses shift-right by default=20
as it's clearly explained in :help term.txt (please READ it carefully=20
before any further questions). terminals are all different, and some=20
just don't know some escape sequences.
So your choice is between learning to use vi bindings, using vim in=20
xterm with some tweaks in your vimrc (a lot of set t_* presumably) or=20
to use the gui version.
Since the behaviour is documented in the vim help, It's no bug, and I'll=20
close it.
