Hyper: E388 when using VIM

[brograhamer]

Set my shell to updated oh-my-zsh. Editing anything in VIM using arrow keys gives me an E388 error. Updated to VIM8.0 thinking that might solve the problem, yet it persists. I'm on Windows 10. This is a pretty bare install, so I'm unsure what's wrong when VIM works well in ConEmu.

How do you use zsh? With WSL?
Maybe duplicate (or related to) #1514

[brograhamer]

Precisely, love the zsh shell and am more used to it than bash.

Tried that thread before posting here, nothing from it worked.

[chabou]

Did it work with bash? And with vanilla zsh (without any .zshrc)?
If it work, can you give us your .zshrc?

[brograhamer]

Fixed this issue, Arrow keys would simply throw the arrow, so vim ~/.vimrc and adding :set term=builtin_ansi seemed to solve this problem. Other consoles did not share this problem before and after Hyper was installed, so this specifically seems like a Hyper issue.

Thoughts as to why? Is this a bug?

I wonder what you $TERM variable is. It looks to me like, for some reason, vim is trying to use escape sequences that Hyper doesn't support.

I'm also seeing this. Other consoles work fine. My $TERM var is: xterm-256color
Also, I'm using the windows version (v1.3.1).

Hi, new user here, sorry for resurrecting. I was getting same "E388: Couldn't find definition" error with android terminal emulator which is working in linux mode. @brograhamer 's fix worked for me so i signed up to thank him. Thank you very much sir! I was getting E388 when i press arrow keys. What is weird for me is that my first press was returning right arrow regardless of which one i press. Also i didn't experience any text showing up. Not that i have a clue but someone might have. I'm running debian core through linuxdeploy app for development with a bluetooth physical keyboard. I hate using both vnc and eclipse so i didn't install anything but development stuff and what i realized is that arrow keys are not working properly in terminal emulator, i know cause i experienced similar issues with midnight commander too. I didn't care much since i can teach buttons to mc(also i use bluetooth mouse so i can click) but vim was a wash out. Luckily i found the fix.
If you ask me, this problem is definitely terminal type based but then again i'm no expert.

Is there any news on this? I tried @brograhamer suggestion but that completely locked all the keys and I couldn't even exit (commence jokes about exiting vim). It's definitely a Hyper issue as I don't get this with other terminals

Hey there, please try again with the new Hyper v2 release and open a new issue if the problem stills exists. Thank you!
