I see. Sounds like we need to:
(a) make langmaps apply to command-line mode by default, so Russian,
Greek, etc. users can type ex-commands by using them;
(b) implement some way of toggling them on/off "on the fly" so we could e.g. do
:let list = [{name: "Иван", patronym: "Петрович", family:
"Михайлов", city: "Москва"}, {name: "Ирина", patronym: "Андреевна",
family: "Свердлова", city: "Санкт-Петербург"}, {name: "Фёдор",
patronym: "Афанасьевич", family: "Воронин", city: "Нижний Новгород"}]
etc., even with a Cyrillic layout used with langmap.
Best regards,
Tony.
