I have recently installed ubuntu 11.10 version in my laptop. Please tell me how to use the vi editor. Because the vi editor in ubuntu is totally different from the vi editor we have in Mandriva or Sabayon. Why am i not able to use backspace or the cursor movement keys(up, down, left, right) properly? Why on pressing the cursor movements we get A, C printed on the screen.......... instead of just cursor movements. Do i need to install any packages using the command? :
Please let me know about the same.
One quick fix is to enter the following command within vi :set nocompatible
It'd be the same way you'd quit vi, but instead of :q type the above.
This way you'd have to type that every time you want to use vi. I'm not sure yet how to 'automate' this. If anyone here can shed some light on this area please do so. Thanks a lot!

SVK::Editor::XD(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation SVK::Editor::XD(3)NAME
SVK::Editor::XD - An editor for modifying svk checkout copies
SYNOPSIS
$editor = SVK::Editor::XD->new
( path => $path,

DESCRIPTION
SVK::Editor::XD modifies existing checkout copies at the paths translated by the get_copath callback, according to the incoming editor

which is used for bringing changes from depot to checkout copies.

target
The target path of the editor calls. Used for deciding if the root's meta data needs to be updated in update mode.
xd SVK::XD object.
oldroot

update
Working in update mode.
get_path
A callback to translate paths in editor calls to path in depot.
