[Bug 587056] Re: vim mapping of <F3> fails when connected using putty

[RM200910]

Somehow the bug went to firefox. Maybe it's an ncurses-base bug


** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => ncurses (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox
+ Binary package hint: ncurses-base
  
- The mapping I use in vim is 
+ The mapping I use in vim is
  map <F3> a<C-R>=strftime("%d/%m/%Y %T")<CR><CR><Esc>
  
- When I use putty to connect to open a console to the system, I open vim and F3 prints the date
- When I use putty to connect to the machine, then start "screen", I open vim and F3 no longer works.
+ I use putty  to open a console to the system, I open vim and F3 prints
+ the date
+ 
+ I use putty to connect to the machine, then start "screen", I open vim
+ and F3 no longer works.
  
  I don't attribute the problem to putty though, because I can connect to
  a Redhat 5 system and the mapping works regardless of screen.
  
- The environment variable is "xterm" and "screen" when outside/inside
- screen respectively.
+ The TERM environment variable is "xterm" and "screen" when
+ outside/inside screen respectively.
  
  The problem is the same when mapping F2,F3 and F4.
  F5 works okay inside/outside screen.
  
  To confuse things further, when using gnome-terminal the mapping works
  inside and outside screen and TERM values are the same.
