In vim, the numerical Enter ⎆ key behaves differently from the carriage Return ⏎ key.
Is there any practical reason why the numerical Enter ⎆ behaves like that?
Can the numerical Enter ⎆ be made to behave like the carriage Return ⏎ key (including in combination with Shift ⇧ and if so, how?
Since this issue was affecting only the normal mode, it was solved by adding the following lines at the very bottom of my .vimrc configuration file:
nmap <kEnter> <CR>
nmap <S-kEnter> <S-CR>
Apparently, some plugin had messed up the default behaviour.
inoremap <kEnter> <enter>should work. Check:help keycodes<Enter>and<Return>evaluate to<CR>, so I'm not sure how they could be different. Can you please give us a bit more info?<c-v><enter>gives^Mwhile<c-v><num enter>gives^[OMbut I don't see any difference in their behavior... I needed you might want to create mappings using<c-v><key>to get the behavior you want. For example something likennoremap ^[OM ^[termcap/terminfoentry. See the discussion here for suggestions.
