Hi All, I am trying to find out how I can see what encoding my vim is using. Also would be good to know how to set it to a different encoding, if I need to.
Some other questions that may help me understand how encoding works: - My /etc/vim/vimrc says scriptencoding utf-8, does this mean that this is the vim encoding and any new file will be saved with this encoding? - If I open a file which was saved with ISO-8859-1, edit it and save it, will it keep the original encoding? - The vimrc says: " Make sure we have a sane fallback for encoding detection set fileencodings+=default" I guess this is system default. How can I find what is the default setting? Sorry if these are simple questions but never got my head around encodings and charactersets. -- Regards, Mick
