vim + GNU screen + myts 8 scrolling problem

y2rayk · 10-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Ive been using my Kindle 3W to share a screen sort of like the Raspberry Pi Display project. Whenever I use vim with the ruler on (:set ruler on), the vim editor leaves remnants on scrolling up or down. I was able to workaround this problem by setting my TERM variable to ansi.

For example:
export TERM=ansi

before launching screen. That seemed to have made the problem go away. I just wanted to share this tip if anybody ran into the same problem.

That also works nicely for scrolling in irssi, which never worked before....

However, the status bars are broken...
