no explanation for the script, and first group of mappings should be completely unnecessary on most systems

" allow Alt-[movement keys] to scroll window
if !has("gui_running")
  nmap ^[l <A-l>
  nmap ^[h <A-h>
  nmap ^[k <A-k>
  nmap ^[j <A-j>
  vmap ^[l <A-l>
  vmap ^[h <A-h>
  vmap ^[k <A-k>
  vmap ^[j <A-j>
  imap ^[l <A-l>
  imap ^[h <A-h>

  imap ^[j <A-j>
endif

" To have <A-h> available for the mappings below, search menu.vim for the
