jump from word to word

[Claus Atzenbeck]

Hi all,

w jumps from word to word. However, it considers German umlauts
(äöüÄÖÜ) and German sz (ß) as word end. For example, w stops at the
indicated positions:

Schwämme überall.
^   ^^   ^^ ^

However, I would desire instead:

Schwämme überall.
^^  ^

Any idea how to teach Vim to consider special characters as mentioned
above as normal letters?

Thanks for any hint.
Claus

Try using capital W instead.

Thanks, this helps. I read about it when I started using Vim, however,
apparently I forgot that.

 note that W uses Vim's definition of WORD, i.e., any sequence of
 non-blank characters separated by white space is considered to be a
 WORD. In practice this means that W will not stop at commas, dots,
 exclamation marks, quotes, etc. It might be better to

   :set iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255

 which considers all characters where the C runtime function isalpa()
 returns TRUE, all digits, the underscore, and all characters in the
 range from 192 to 255 to be part of a word. Then w should work as
 wanted.

Perfect. This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
