Note: Neovim installed using pkg install neovim, not from ports.

• vim -u DEFAULTS (version: ) behaves differently?

I am not using vim, but HOME & END works properly in zsh, in tmux, and in nano

• Operating system/version:

# freebsd-version                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   [12:46:12]

• Terminal name/version:

KiTTY v0.74.2.5p @ 09/10/2020-17:13:24(GMT)

(KiTTY is a fork of PuTTY)

• $TERM:

• putty-256color in zsh outside tmux
• tmux-256color in zsh inside tmux

Steps to reproduce using nvim -u NORC

nvim -u NORC
# Alternative for shell-related problems:
# env -i TERM=ansi-256color "$(which nvim)"

Actual behaviour

Home & End key do not move the cursor.

Expected behaviour

Home & End key should move the cursor to the beginning and end of line, respectively.

infocmp output attached:

• infocmp-putty-256color.txt
• infocmp-tmux-256color.txt

unibilium is unable to handle terminfo stored in hashed database (On FreeBSD, terminfo is stored in a hashed database). Thus there are some terminals on FreeBSD where the Home and End etc keys will not work even if terminfo (result of infocmp) and TERM environment variables are correct.

There are two workarounds.

1. In PuTTY (KiTTY), set Terminal -> Keyboard -> The Home and End keys to rxvt, and then use neovim to do :noremap <kHome> <End> (The Home key works without setting the map).
2. Copy the termininfo stored in the directory tree of Linux or MSYS2 etc. to $HOME/.termininfo (You only need to copy the entries you need).
