You told about getting rid of built-in Hangul input feature from vim. I'm afraid that I don't feel like getting it out of vim. There are a lot of systems where XIM is not available at all out there. For example, at my office, we run a bunch of "servers". I just ssh to one of them and set DISPLAY environment variable to point to my local laptop which runs Ubuntu linux. And then I run gvim to edit source codes. Systems like AIX, True64, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, and older versions of RedHat linux does not even have GTK. In those system, I don't seem to have many choices. I MUST compile vim enabling hangulinput feature and then use it to type in Hangul. It would never be enough to stress the necessity and the importance of that feature for Koreans. I would be devastated if that feature is to removed :'O Regards, Shawn. P.S. Personally, using XIM with vim is kind of confusing. If you were typing Hangul in input mode, and then you escape from that mode by pressing upon ESC, XIM is still in Hangul input mode. So, any of your comands won't work until you switch to English input mode by pressing Shift+Space. It is very unconvinient and confusing. As it seems that I can seem to control XIM out of it, like sending signal or something, for me, it is just more appreciated using hangulinput feature. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
