Hi everyone,
after upgrading from MacVim 104 to MacVim 106 I noticed that <M-"> no longer
works (not recognised for maps - just inserts a ¢ character). (The problem also
exists in 105 - which I missed).
Workarounds such as <S-M-'> also had no effect.
After a bit of git bisecting I found the following commit:
1d90a5a... patch 7.4.1968 Problem: Invalid memory access with "\<C-">.
Solution: Do not recognize this as a special character. (Dominique Pelle)
misc2.c line 2762 (as of commit 5009946)
/* Anything accepted, like <C-?>, except <C-">, because the "
* ends the string. */
if (bp[l] != '"' && bp[l + 1] == '>')
bp += l;
This only checks for "> - thus not only catching <C-"> but also <M-">. (which
always worked fine (for me at least :-)).
Strangely, <D-"> was not adversely affected.
After returning the check to its original
if (bp[l + 1] == '>')
<M-"> worked fine again.
Also, even without the extra check, I still could not reproduce any problems
via <C-"> (except that it only produced a ' character - Mac OS 10.9.5, MacVim
Snapshot 106).
Could we please revoke this patch, possibly replacing it with something else?
IMHO: If the invalid memory access problem still exists, it should be solved by
"not accessing invalid memory" rather than simply turning off / breaking useful
functionality.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
