How do I get the numpad to work in vim using iterm2 on osx with term=xterm?

Question

My numpad works in iterm2 (bash), but it inserts characters instead of numbers in insert mode for vim.

How can I get vim to recognise the correct escape codes.

I have tried editing the escape codes as suggested here without any luck: http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/issues/detail?id=702

Answer 1

Looks like the answer is to go into Preferences->Profiles->Keys and load preset of: "xterm with Numeric Keypad".

Answer 2

For me the solution was disabling VT100 Application Keypad-Mode in Preferences > Profiles > Advanced.

Answer 3

You can add global keyboard shortcuts in Preferences -> Keys and map the numpad characters to "Send Text" actions to send the text they are supposed to send.

Answer 4

but it removes some colors in my vim.

if you just need it some times, just type:

:set term=ansi

in VIM
