I see, so you need ßåäöÅÄÖüÜ and maybe more, and you use a US keyboard or at least not a German or a Swedish one? I don't use KDE myself and I have a Swedish keyboard (since I write almost everything in Swedish – that explains my poor English…). I use a lot special characters, except those Swedish ones, so I just created my own keyboard layout (called Swedish – Johnny Rosenberg), so I can easily type characters, such as ”… – — ℃ π ℗”, using the AltGr key (”Right Alt key” on some keyboards), but I guess that's probably not the easiest way out of this problem… > So I'll > probably loose more time building replacement lists than just making a > row of the most occurring charters in vim and copying that to each > document after opening it.

Try to update and see what happens, maybe this is a 3.5.4 issue. That's what I would do, anyway.
