System: Ubuntu14.04
When using the VI command, the file cannot be edited normally, and there are always many letters when using the arrow keys
The problem is that the new system is directly installed VI, not installed VIM. Because VI is not able to press backspace directly to delete characters, so when you use backspace key to delete characters, only when you press ESC, those characters disappear ... Vim can edit characters directly like Notepad!
On the internet to find a way to solve the problem has been resolved to share:
As long as the following two commands can be executed in order to solve the Ubuntu under the VI Editor direction key to the letter problem.
I. Execute command sudoapt-get remove Vim-common (the command can not be executed)
Two. Execute Command sudoapt-get install VIM
Try the VI editor again, is not back to normal.
