Hi --
I'm having a problem using cut and paste to put text from a VIM
document, into a terminal window. It's some sort of character encoding
issue. Here's what I do:
o Start up gvim with no file. I'm using 6.2.
o Type a few characters.
o Copy some material (Apple-C)
o Move to a terminal window
o Paste it (Apple-V)
o Material is pasted, but the encoding is incorrect.
If I cut the phrase 'ABCabc', then what gets pasted is this:
'\344\205\202\344\215\241\346\211\243'
If I paste it into a non-terminal window such as Mail or Textedit, I get
Chinese characters.
Copying *from* Textedit to terminal works fine, so I think the problem
is something to do with vim.
Can someone point me to what I might have set that's doing this?
Thanks,
-Henry
What happens if you set 'encoding' to "macroman" (the legacy Mac encoding)
prior to yanking? If it doesn't work, try UTF-8.
Best regards,
Tony.
