Linux vi arrow keys broken in insert mode

Question

My arrow keys don\'t work in vi in insert mode at home, they just each insert a newline and a capital letter, like \'A\'. Is there a way to fix that?

Answer 1

I had same issue with arrow keys, but when I used did that set nocp or nocompatible then my backspace didn't work correctly

for some reason when I installed vim with sudo apt-get install vim, vi didn't had any issues with arrows or backspace anymore
