I'm using the number keypad with num lock on in insert mode in vim. The number keypad inserts letters on a new line. The letters that are inserted are below. When not in insert mode, the number keypad work as expected and enters numbers. Does anyone have a solution to get the number keypad working normally in insert mode?

1=q
2=r
3=s
4=t

Program Ver. : Xshell 4

I should say that with SecureCRT the keypad functions normally entering numbers in insert mode on the same machine

This is due to different terminal type setting. You can change the Terminal type in Xshell session properties > Terminal. Set it as ansi and number pad should work in VIM.

Filipe - Thank you so much!@!

Exactly correct.

When I change to ansi mode, it seems PgUp and PgDn does not work well in the normal mode of vim. It will act as a function to change the current letter to a capital style instead of scroll the screen.

In VIM (or VI), the following keys are used to move between pages:

Ctrl-F - forward one page
Ctrl-B - back one page
