F26: in konsole vim shows $q q at startup!

[Frédéric Bron]

Hi,

When I open vim in konsole, it shows $q q at startup. If I insert
text, $q q is replaced by the text I typed.
gvim has no issue.
vim in terminator is fine.

What version you are using?
mine are worked fine

$ vim -version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Aug 22 2017 12:33:17)

Plus, I found some people posted[1] about $q appearance on vim first line
when loaded a few days ago.
If you don't mind, what is your "$ env | grep TERM" output ?

This has already been reported at https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2008
I leave you to go through all the comments about it!
I use KDE, so added 'set term=konsole-256color' to my .vimrc file.

John.

Same:
$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Aug 22 2017 12:33:17)

Thanks!

I see that I have in my .vimrc the following:
if ($TERM!="")
  :set invttybuiltin term=$TERM
endif

So I tried setting TERM to konsole-256color and it worked.

Thanks,

Frédéric

In fact I followed this suggestion for setting TERM:

"Settings → Profiles, then for each profile Edit Profile → General →
Environment: [ Edit… ]"
