I'm editing binary files with Vim using "set display=uhex" and I was wondering if there's a way to insert characters given their scancode. Something like what I used to do in DOS by holding Alt then typing the number of the character to enter?Sounds like you're looking for what's described at :help i_CTRL-V_digit where you can, in insert-mode, type control+V followed by -a decimal number -an "x" followed by a hex number -a "u" followed by a 4-hexchar unicode sequence -a "U" followed by an 8-hexchar unicode sequence HTH, -tim
Careful, Tim: UTF-8 is unsuited to binary editing, because you can't enter a byte >127 by itself in UTF-8.
