Get keypad working inside Vim when using Putty

Posted by on February 1, 2011

To get the keypad to work in Vim you need to configure PuTTY to ignore the application keypad mode.

1. Go to settings->terminal->features in PuTTy
2. Check the box labeled “Disable application keypad mode”
3. Press ‘Apply’
4. In Vim make sure numlock is on and then start typing numbers

If you forget numlock the keypad will be used for cursor movement

Tested on PuTTy v0.60

Windows ,
