In vim normal mode, Ctrl + i does not work as expected (i.e. does not move forward in jump list)

[krishnakumarg1984]

Bug description

Inside vim, after performing a jump action to a previous position, the Ctrl + i sequence is used to jump forward in the jump list. This does not work in the current version of wezterm and instead, we enter vim's insert mode in the buffer.

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Version: wezterm 20200608-110940-3fb3a61
• Vim: 8.2.0539

To Reproduce

1. Fire up vim without any plugins or startup file like so: vim -u NONE
2. Open up any moderately long text file. Just as an example to demo this issue, in normal mode, perform a sequence of some random jumps, eg. G, gg, 50%,25%, 75%
3. Now, press Ctrl + o to go to an older position
4. Now, press Ctrl + i to go forward in jump list (i.e. to the newer position)
5. vim unexpectedly enters insert mode!

Configuration

This issue occurs even with a default install of wezterm. No specific configuration file was created.

Expected behavior

vim should jump forward in the jump list when Ctrl + i sequence is pressed in normal mode.

Additional context

The same issue occurs in neovim (v0.4.3) as well.

Thanks for the fix!

@wez Hopefully this will make it to homebrew soon.

I tend to review and tag releases roughly every 4-6 weeks, and we just had a tag last weekend.

You can however use brew install --HEAD wezterm to pick up the nightly build via our homebrew tap!

[krishnakumarg1984]

@wez Using the head (nightly) version shall not work for me because every brew update will trigger downloads everyday, and I am on a metered internet connection.

Perhaps it is best for me to wait out until the next release. In the meantime, do you think this issue should be open?

[wez]

brew update just syncs the recipe definitions. brew upgrade is what will install recipes if their versions have changed. If you have performed a HEAD install, brew will consider you to already be on head and won't actually upgrade unless you first uninstall; I tried this just now:

$ brew upgrade wezterm
Warning: wez/wezterm/wezterm HEAD already installed

so I don't think this will impose any additional cost on your metered connection.
WezTerm will display a window advising you of when the next tag is made,
and at that time you can switch back to the normal tagged install if you wish.

@wez Yup. This works now. Thanks a lot for your support!
