I have only used vi with 2.11bsd, but have learned to not use the arrows 
keys or pg up, pg dn. They work in insert mode as long as you press and 
release slowly... Once autorepeat kicks in, one of the ESC eventually 
causes a transition to normal mode and you end up inserting a bunch of 
crap into the file. I seem to recall lots of ^B.

An unfortunate effect of using the ESC for both a mode change and a key 
prefix.
