Haven't tested it in UTF-8.
I don't understand the help text for the option. I think you mean that the terminal sets the 8th bit or uses an escape character. Note that using an Esc-char sequence for "meta" characters causes much trouble, terminals should not do that. It's too easy to type Esc and then a letter when in Insert mode and confuse that with the letter with the 8th bit set. Supporting it in Vim won't solve the problem, only create the illusion that it works. -- Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
