Instead of extending screenchar(), which returns only a number for the base character, add screenstr(), which returns a string with the base character and any composing character. With the str2list() function it can then be converted to a list of numbers, if needed. But in many cases I would expect the string to be used. E.g. in tests one can compare the return value screenstr() with the expected string. -- To define recursion, we must first define recursion. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
