And that's wrong for *any* number. The weird order should only be used for Sb/Sf, not AB/AF. > The reason you might want to do that is that there is NO WAY of > representing 24bit colour in terminfo.

The binary format of terminfo isn't standardized. Ncurses terminfo stores the names of extension properties (at the end of the file, after all their values). I think it would be better to simply suggest anyone whose terminfo doesn't support extension properties set t_Whatever directly in their .vimrc rather than abandoning the idea entirely. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
