What?! "Arrow keys" in vi?! That's heresy!!!
Actually, the problem is in the keymapping done for the Amiga console
device(s). Check the /usr/amiga/lib/kmap directory for other (provided)
keymaps. They can be changed with:
$ sioc setkmap <fname>
or
$ sioc setdefkmap <fname>
You really shouldn't be using the arrow keys, ya' know? Most implementations
of vi don't set the mappings properly for using the arrow keys in INPUT mode
(not vi's fault -- I'm not sure they _can_ be set properly).
I'm using /usr/amiga/lib/kmap/usa0 for the program I'm porting which
prefers vt100-compatible.
