      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;VIM insert mode doesn't work properly with Ubuntu 14.04.1 VM via SSH.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example left arrow key causes current line to be pushed down, and a character D inserted instead.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Shortcut like ci" doesn't work as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone having this problem too?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Most likely a VMFusion problem since I don't have this problem with my VPN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Using iTerm2 and VMFusion 6.0.4.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the link. I tried, but it still doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Problem might be due to VM cause I don't have problems with using VIM in iTerm2 on my local machine, or VPN via SSH.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Its only when I SSH to the VM that causes VIM to break.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I see this problem in all sorts of situations (including ones that don't involve a VM).&amp;nbsp; I am not enough of an expert on terminal types to understand exactly what's going on, but I usually work around it by installing the "vim-nox" package.&amp;nbsp; Somehow the "fuller" vim packages are more capable of dealing with whatever is being sent.&amp;nbsp; Like I said, I don't pretend to understand &lt;EM&gt;why&lt;/EM&gt;, and it feels like a lame solution, but it usually Works For Me (TM) and is easy enough to do.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-- &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Darius&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some points from the last link to check:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Does your account in the VM have a ~/.vimrc?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Are you invoking vim as vim rather than vi?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Nope there's no ~/.vimrc&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) The command I use is vi, but it's really just vim in ubuntu.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I might be slow to respond or test out all the solutions here, as I think I can still live by using command mode to navigate around.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
