One of the things that kept on bothering me when SSH’ing is that the keys of the numpad would not work in vi: when pressing any key on the numpad, another key would be sent somehow.
Should’ve Google’d this a lot earlier because the fix is very simple: in the preferences of Terminal, go to Profiles → Your Profile → Advanced and uncheck the “Allow VT100 application keypad mode” option.
You can also tweak this setting from the CLI using PlistBuddy:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete 'Window Settings':Pro:StrictVTKeypad" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist > /dev/null 2>&1
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set 'Window Settings':Pro:StrictVTKeypad bool true" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plistThere, much better 🙂
☝ I’ve also added this tweak to ./freshinstall, a tool which I built to automatically configure my MacBook (Preferences, Dotfiles, Installed Software, etc)
Thank me with a coffee.
I don\'t do this for profit but a small one-time donation would surely put a smile on my face. Thanks!
