It's my first mail to this list.
I'm using vim on Win32 this Russian keyboard. There are some bugs with
mapping of russians special keys. I've made some patches to fix these
bugs.
Let start step by step.
1. Special key may contain multi-byte character (ex. unicode) after
modifier. For example, if I press a key Alt-k with russian input
(Alt-Ì) then vim's got key K_SPECIAL K_SPECIAL 0x08 0xd0 0xbb, where
0xd0 0xbb is the unicode character CYRILLIC_SMALL_LETTER_EL.
2. In functions find_special_key (misc2.c) and str2special (message.c)
vim supposes that there is only _1_ byte after modifiers.
I can offer the corrected code for these functions.
(There are 2 other patches to fix this problem in the console Win32
application)
It will help us a lot if you provide a reproducable example. I don't
have a Russian keyboard, thus hopefully this won't be required.
You can send patches directly to me. If they are small you can also
send them to the vim-dev list, so that others can make comments.
