Home and End key not working in neovim while it is working in vim

Question

I am having neovim and vim in my machine sharing same vimrc file.

When i press home and end key it works inside vim but not in neovim.

Neovim is installed using AppImage.

Vim version is : VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Aug  9 2019 03:17:15)
NeovIm version is : NVIM v0.4.4
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.0.5
OS :Centos 7

I tried set term=xterm and set term=xterm-256color but it fails

E518: Unknown option: term=xterm-256color

echo $TERM returns xterm

How to enable home and end button in nvim?

Update: There is a help document , :help $TERM

When i changed the term export TERM=putty-256color ,it works. But i have to keep setting it many times . Need a way to set it in vimrc.

Answer 1

I use tmux and had TERM set to xterm-256color. It was fixed after setting it to screen-256color.

Answer 2

Add this to your tmux config:

bind-key -n Home send Escape "OH"
bind-key -n End send Escape "OF"
