On modern terminal and emulators, the arrow keys send escape
sequences, not single characters. For example, typing the up arrow
typically sends a 3-character sequence: Escape [ A. But the Escape
character by itself is also a valid command.
vi has to distinguish between them by timing. In old versions,
it would wait one second after seeing an Escape character before
deciding that it was just an Escape character -- which meant
that typing Escape [ A quickly enough would move the cursor up.
Modern vim seems to behave a bit differently; perhaps the timeout
is just shorter, but I just tried "busybox vi", and it does seem
to use a longer timeout that can be faked out.
I can imagine the arrow keys not working reliably over a slow and/or
flaky serial connection. But then again, I don't usually use the
arrow keys in vi.
