I guess you should stop speaking for everyone, too. I don't know why you cited "7-bit world" here, really, but even "8-bit terminals" may use other mechanisms to implement the "meta" keys. Esc-char is, IMHO, the worst possible way of doing it, and even if it isn't, Vim has to work with *any* kind of terminal, so... >> Supporting it in Vim won't solve the problem, only create the >> illusion that it works. > This "illusion" works for me (and other ALT Linux users) for more than > three years. Nice sarcasm :) Supporting that feature in Vim won't solve the problem, just as Bram said, but I'm not sure if you understood why. Again: Vim has to work with many terminals, and it's not a good idea to hardcode workarounds in Vim for certain kinds of terminals. That's all, it's nothing personal against you or against any terminal, really. BTW, politeness is free (as in beer), and Bram doesn't owe you ANYTHING and he doesn't even have to give Vim for free: he is kind enough to do it, so even if you don't like how Vim works please save your sarcasms for other people that maybe deserve it. Bram is not one of them, and you have Vim's source code available for free: add the feature you want and even distribute your own version of Vim with that feature, but please don't be so harsh with Bram... > Forget it. I wont bother you any more. I don't think Bram has said anything which could make you think you were bothering him...
