Fixing terminfo for Neovim
Raw
nvim_terminfo_fix.md
  1. Create a copy of your terminfo file (mine is screen-256color):
  • mkdir -p ~/.terminfo && cd ~/.terminfo
  • infocmp > screen-256color
  1. Edit the file so that the backspace entry has the value \177. The name of the entry was in my case kbs, but perhaps you'll see key_backspace.
  • My example: il=\E[%p1%dL, il1=\E[L, ind=^J, initc@, is2=\E)0, kbs=\177

  1. Compile: tic screen-256color

  2. TERMINFO=~/.terminfo/ nvim works!
