one should really use a "dotfiles" repo. E.g.:

Re: Vim

[rwmit...@gmail.com]

Without knowing what you did when you installed it, I don't think it an be 
answered universally.

What OS are you using?
What command did you run to install vim?

Assuming you're on a unix system, removing both $HOME/.vimrc and $HOME/.vim 
will likely remove anything you did to customize vim and it is very 
unlikely the vim app/program is actually corrupt.

Since the NUL byte terminates a string in C, it is internally replaced
with NL, 0x0A.  When written to a file it is changed back to a NUL.
I most places you don't notice this, but sometimes it does.

Nope.

digraph_get('NU') returns 0xA

[John Passaro]

:echo char2nr(digraph_get('NU')) prints "10". this would seem to disagree
with :h digraphs, which says that NU maps to "0" i.e. the null char. I
don't think this is the result of an override as i certainly haven't tried
to enact one and it happens even with -u NONE.

is this a bug?

Re: Beginner? How do I fix these error messeges

[Owajigbanam Ogbuluijah]

You certainly can! This would depend on your OS and your package manager.

You can always download the source and build it in any folder you want.

Re: Displaying the British pound key using the compose key

The Compose key is a thing in X before it ever reaches the terminal
or even vim.  I prefer the default

   L -

which feels much more intuitive to me (I do all such character
compositions through the X Compose key and never use vim's digraphs
unless I'm helping someone with a vim digraph-related issue).

However, if you do want

   $ $

to make the British Pound symbol, you can create a ~/.XCompose file,
something like

  $ cat >> ~/.XCompose
  
  include "%L"
   <$> <$>
  ^D

I'm not exactly positive on the notation for the dollar key, so it
might be something like

  

instead of

  <$>

but you can use xev(1) to show the key-name.

You might then have to restart vim (or possibly even restart your
X session)

Re: Beginner? How do I fix these error messeges

[Norman Bench]

Thanks for your help but I think I just want to start over, if that is 
possible? 
Is there a way I can uninstall vim, and then download vim to a directory of 
my choosing?

Thank you
