Description Juha-Matti Tilli 2003-08-01 14:50:18 UTC 
The termcap entry for screen is old and does not have end key.

Fix: Use the termcap entry that comes with screen.

Here is a patch for version 1.132 of termcap.src:
How-To-Repeat: 
% screen
% ssh localhost
% less somefile

The end key does not work in less and vim.

Screen sets the correct termcap entry in TERMCAP environment variable. But when
you connect to some machine with ssh, TERMCAP is not preserved and the old
entry in /usr/share/misc/termcap is used instead.

Over to our de-facto termcap maintainer. 
The patch in the PR looks good to me, and it does indeed fix 
the *very* annoying problem with the End key in vi-lookalikes.
