Description:   Opened: 2006-02-12 08:04 0000 
When gnome 2.14 hits portage, gnome-terminal will set TERM="gnome" (dang has
confirmed this).

I've been testing with TERM=gnome and have discovered that Ctrl-Left,
Ctrl-Right do not work when running vim in a gnome-terminal. (They should do
back/forward-WORD, like B, W, but work in insert mode - useful.)

vim 6.4 appears to - when TERM is xterm - read the key settings for these and
other esoteric keys from its builtin termcap, rather than from terminfo. (While
terminfo could provide these, vim assumes two-character capability codes, a
termcap holdover?)

So far as I can tell the easiest way to fix this would be to set <C-Left>,
<C-Right> in /etc/vim/vimrc if TERM=gnome.

I attach a patch. Watch out when opening it; it contains ESC characters (\033),
since (apparently) termcap-type stuff has to be set verbatim.

I'll do a new vimrc -r for this I think. Hopefully there'll be a new set of
vim6 packages with fixes for bug #120482, bug #117748, bug #120409 soon.

Included in vim 7 beta. I suspect that we won't be doing another 6.x release
now. Thanks muchly.
