My problem is, in vim the right and left arrow keys don't do anything in command mode
What locale, what keyboard setting, what terminal emulator/console/terminal multiplexer and what other aspect of the environment might be causing the error? Did you try to replicate the behaviour on a different machine?

Thanks to all you so far. So it's - as I expected - a problem on my side (which I found while I was writing this, but still I'll post it completely)
I am german, but I have an english system, so:
% locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
and a german keyboard setting:
in my rc.conf: KEYMAP="de"
in my xorg.conf.d/ Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" EndSection
By the way, on tty it's the same behaviour, so it's not caused by Xorg
I use rxvt-unicode, just tried it in xterm, same behaviour.
I also reinstalled vim and vim-runtime. Actually I installed vim and replaced gvim, which I had installed. Nothing's changed. Then I reinstalled gvim and tried it with gvim, still the same.
-- la solucion --
Ok, now I found it, I completely removed gvim, so some plugins were uninstalled as well. Then after reinstalling vim everything's fine.
This was caused by vim-bufstat-git from the AUR. I actually don't need this, so I'll leave it off the system for now and file a bugreport.
An interesting part is, my mail client is mutt, which I configured to use vim as editor. While I was writing this mail, my problem was even solved in this running vim session. Weird stuff!
Thanks for your input, I was just to hasty, should have tried to figure it out before posting here.
Solved :)
