In the omni completion list select the glyph. Alternatively, set :let g:showDigraphCode=1 and either enter the unicode codepoint or type the name and press <C-X><C-U> In the preview window, you'll see the glyph and additionally the digraph char, that can be used to enter that glyph if one exists. > > - I want to type a Greek pi letter (3.14...).

Use the unicode completion of the plugin, together with the codepoint or the name. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
