<up> key for terminal history
Thank you for the excellent plugin.
However, when typing in the terminal, pressing the <up> arrow key does not let me see my last command. Instead, it says:
E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off
When I disable this plugin, the <up> and <down> keys for scrolling through the history work as normal. Is there a workaround? Notably, the history command still works--so history is being collected, it seems the keymapping is just messed up somehow.
my here works fine. (I'm using hkbb's <Fn>+hjkl + zsh
I haven't map any other keys with plugin (it's really simple you can check the plugin through
check your up mapping with :nmap <up> or terminal settings
:nmap <up> gives 'No mapping found.'
I have the same issue on multiple terminals across OS X and Linux, all of which are using default settings. And it only happens when the plugin is enabled.
It's not only <up> but any of the arrow keys causes it to exist "insert mode" of the terminal, i.e. as if I hit <esc> or <ctrl>+W+N.
so you met problems on OS X and Linux? I'm using it in OS X.
You can try uncomment all the mapping / commands in the plugin and see if things are different.

I commented out the following line, and that fixed it.

Not sure why--but that is definitely the problem.
Feel free to close, since you can't replicate it. I have a Macbook Pro running High Sierra.
Thanks. I had to disable this plugin too because arrow navigation was broken. I'm using OS X 10.14.3 with iTerm 3.2.7 and I'm having the issue as well.
Arrow keys get messed up. Pushing down arrow pulls me out of terminal insert mode into terminal normal mode.
