Studio doesn't work properly with "vi"

[Priminus]

I'm running a Virtualbox on Windows with CentOS 7.
When I SSH in from Cygwin and use "vi" from within studio, keystrokes display letters instead (see screenshot).

I suspected maybe it was Cygwin since Windows isn't supported, but I get similar odd behaviour when running inside of Virtualbox. The difference is keystrokes don't display characters, but "i" doesn't quite enable "Insert Mode" properly (e.g. backspace doesn't backspace).

Possibly no "vi" support?

Pretty sure this doesn't have to do with Habitat but may be related to your terminal settings. Perhaps setting TERM=xterm would help or looking at the settings of your terminal emulator.

Closing this, but if you can confirm that this behavior is actually caused by a bug in Habitat, please reopen and we can investigate. Thanks!

I have the same issue (albeit on Amazon Linux), and a potential solution:

Seems inside a studio Vim runs in Vi compatability mode - if you type i for insert mode, --INSERT-- isn't displayed and the editor behaves mostly as if you were using Vi.

Entering the command :set nocp should make it more usable 👍
