On Windows with an installation of gvim 8.1, Numpad behavior is different between the GUI and the console.
The GUI (gvim.exe) has a TERM of builtin_gui and the keypad (with Numlock On) works properly. By properly, I mean in insert mode, when you hit Num 0, it inserts a 0.
However, the console version (vim.exe) has a TERM of win32 and the keypad (with Numlock On) inserts extended characters such as:
- ╬┌
- ╬▐
- ╬Γ
- ╬µ
- ╬Ω
- ╬ε
- ╬≥
- ╬÷
- ╬ ·
- ╬■
How would I go about changing the behavior of the numpad in the console? I have tried looking at the default vimscripts such as mswin.vim to see if there is any obvious behavior that could affect the function of the numpad, but I didn't see anything. I also searched Google and vi SE, but all answers I seemed to find had to do with the various terminal programs that people were using. This issue is when using vim.exe within the native Windows command prompt.
