And it does. Andrew had a misconfigured vim setup that was getting in the way. > PC keyboards have been for a very long time now. Yes. But, again, you're not always on the local attached keyboard when interacting with a Linux system. Admittedly, even when not local, 99.9% of the time you'll be using some sort of VT100/ANSI terminal emulator, so a lot of the flexibility of the termcap/terminfo system is overkill at this point. But the underlying abstraction - no matter how you are connected, it looks like a tty to the host software - is still valuable. > > That's the price of using stuff without understanding it. > > Oh man. > Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone..
