Screen + vim causes shift-enter to insert 'M' and a newline

Question

When running a vim instance in gnu screen hitting shift enter in insert mode adds an \'M\' and then a newline, rather than just a newline.

Does anybody know what the pro

Answer 1

First, you could fix your $TERM for within konsole. Install "ncurses-term" and configure konsole to set $TERM=konsole-256color. Then configure screen with "term screen-256color". Or 'konsole' and 'screen', respectively, if that's your preference. Konsole and screen are not xterm and doesn't support everything xterm does, so using incorrect $TERM can lead to bad things.
