I followed the directions although I wasn't sure what ekr.leo was so I just
created a new test.leo and inserted the vim = true @ setting in that new
file and then reloaded that file. As before vim navigation and key
sequences like dd work fine. The print-settings result (see below) looks
just like your key bindings but alas no dice with regard to typing a colon.
Another thought is whether the version of python, PyQt or Windows could be
a factor. I am running on the following:
Python 2.7.2, PyQt version 4.8.5
Windows 7 AMD64 (build 6.1.7601) SP1
If I am the only one experiencing this problem (and apparently I am), I
definitely think you should move on to other issues. I really appreciate
the time you've spent on it. I'll try some other machines/OS's and let
you know if I discover anything. Thanks again for trying to figure this
out.
