No, it should not. In `dict.key` `.key` is not a part of a variable name, it is a syntax sugar for `['key']`. So your case does not fall under “regular variable name” definition. Also see `:h expr-entry`, it explicitly states that curly braces names cannot be used. BTW, now when empty keys are allowed should not E713 be something like “Cannot use empty key in expr-entry”? It is definitely possible to use empty keys for dictionaries now, just not with this syntax. > > Best, > Christian > -- > Ich wähle meine Freunde nach ihrem guten Aussehen, meine Bekannten > nach ihrem Charakter und meine Feinde nach ihrem Verstand. > -- Oscar Wilde > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
