either you are using vi over a slow connection or vi doesn't understand the key sequence that your keyboard is generating.
If you are working over a slow connection, you can try to set timeout or ttimeout. These options, combined with timeoutlen and ttimeoutlen, may fix the problem. Do ":h timeout" and ":h timeoutlen" from vi for a better description on how to use them.
The preceding procedure will not work correctly if your terminal sends key codes that vi does not understand. In this situation, your best option is to map your key sequence to a matching cursor movement command and save these mappings in a file called ".exrc" under your home directory. All the commands in there will be read when vi starts up.
type ":h .exrc" and ":h map" from vi for more info.
