Version: 4.2.0 (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: GCC 4.3.1 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages Konsole version 4.2.0. Unable to use numeric keypad in command (i.e. normal) VIM mode. If syntax highlighting is enabled and Vim is in command mode, typing of keys at numeric keypad causes entering insert mode and pasting lowercase letter in the text. To type commands with numbers, e.g. "2dd", it's necessary to use number keys situated below function keys. Outputs of number keys of numeric keypads in command mode: 0 - inserts "p" and (blank) newline 1 - inserts "q" and newline; in short 1: q^J 2: r^J 3: s^J 4: t^J 5: u^J 6: v^J 7: w^J 8: x^J 9: y^J It's not a bug of Vim. I use the same VIM version with konsole 3.5.9 and it worked fine. In xterm numpad is available for typing commands in normal VIM mode, so in my opinion it's a bug of konsole.
I can confirm everything in this on same setup. In addition Numpad+ is l^J.
Same on ArchLinux, kde-4.2.0.
See <http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178451#c6> I have made some changes in configuration of konsole: 1) Settings > Edit current profile > Input 2) Select "Solaris console" and confirm by "OK" or "Apply" With Default (XFree 4) console asterisk (*) did not work in Midnight Commander, as well as there were problems with numpad in VIM. This "input mode" was pre-selected for all the time I have been using konsole. With Linux console or Solaris console no problems in VIM appeared. But with Linux console function keys F1-F5 did not work in Midnight Commander. With Solaris console all works fine. The core of the bug will be probably hidden in key mapping.
SVN commit 925604 by knight: Disable application keypad support in the default key bindings file as, although it produces the correct key codes as tested using 'vttest', it breaks Vim - which enables application key pad by default.
