I am not quire sure that I need to ask this question here, but I just installed Arch on one of my old laptops.
I've been customizing the system for a while and I just noticed that when I open a file with the `vim` editor, it automatically inserts the `g` letter under the cursor on the first line.
What could be the issue? I haven't got not even a single clue on how to t-shoot this?
Example:
Inspect the head before I open the file with `vim`:

After I hit enter you can see the `g` letter at the very beginning of the file:

Welcome to the forums. Please have a look around, check out the stickied threads and the forum etiquette in our wiki. These cover bits like appropriate image sizes for the forums: I have changed your images to urls as they were too large. Also you'd see that we strongly encourage users to search the forums well before posting new threads: any issue you face may have been dealt with by others already. This one sounds just like a recent thread - the underlying problem is solved in an upcoming vim update:

EDIT: actually, the fixed version of vim is already in [extra]. Are you up to date? What version of vim are you running?

Hi to all and thank you for your answers,
Yesterday was late and I was a little tired from the installation
I now realized that vim inserts that `g` character only when I am using it with ssh.
Once I installed my system I moved to working with ssh from my desktop, until I decide witch desktop environment I will use.
