I only noticed that now, switching my linux distro to suse 10.3, and yes, I
really care. I am a french-speaking programmer, so I use a qwerty-us keyboard
beacause it is much easier for programming, but I need sometimes to
produce french texts.
Previously, I could use the CTRL-K combinations with ` (backquote or grave)
to introduce grave accents, ^ (circumflex) for circumflex accents and " for
diaeresis, juste like on a typing machine.
RFC1345 recommends :
! instead of ` for grave accent
> instead of ^ for circumflex accent
: instead of " for diaeresis
Frankly I do not understand why RFC1345 has choosen that.
I know I can add digraphs in .exrc, but it seems to me more logical to add
the french-writing typist combinations directly in the default digraphs of vim.
Of course, I do not ask for removal of the !, > and : sequences, only their
duplications with their `, ^ and " counterparts.
Thanks for reading so far
