Finding a specific control key for a nonalphabetic character on a
keyboard for a language other than English is not always obvious.
Hitting Ctrl together with whatever it is that you hit to get ] will
not necessarily get you the 0x1D byte which means Ctrl-] for Vim. For
instance, on my Belgian keyboard, ] is AltGr-$ and Ctrl-] is not
Ctrl-$ but Ctrl-AltGr-$
But even if you don't know what to hit to get something that Vim will
interpret as Ctrl-], there is an easy workaround, as follows:
map <F9> <C-]>
map! <F9> <C-]>
By adding the above two lines to your vimrc then restarting Vim,
hitting F9 will give you what Ctrl-] is supposed to do, i.e., follow a
help link or find a tag in Normal mode, and teminate an abbreviation
in Insert or Command-line mode. (Of course if F9 is already taken you
can use any other key, preferably some F or Shift-F key.)
Best regards,
Tony.
