Arrow keys type capital letters instead of moving the cursor

Question

I\'ve installed the latest vim using homebrew and also installed mac-vim from the google code homepage. in mac-vim everything works fine. but when I run vim in terminal.app in m

Answer 1

This works for me:

map ^[[A 
map ^[[B 
map ^[[C 
map ^[[D 

To type the sequence for each arrow key, you need to press ctrl-v, then the arrow key.

For example, to type the first line:
m, a, p, space, ctrl-v, ←, space, <, u, p, >

This also might work:

set t_ku=^[[A
set t_kd=^[[B
set t_kr=^[[C
set t_kl=^[[D
