Try

Code:

:set nocompatible

There are also some other issues with vim, haven't really researched them as I primarily use vi

[edit] you can also add

Code:

:set backspace=2

[edit2] to have those changes saved, create file .vimrc in your home folder (/home/user and /root if you are using the latter) and put there

Code:

set nocompatible
set backspace=2

this should make vim more-less usable

Oh, and this is not Norwegian-keyboard related, I have the same issue on my 'standard' layout.

If I can help with anything else, just ask!
