As Jeremy Conlin mentioned, a checkbox is probably the ideal way to toggle the interpretation of the option key. For the benefit of non- (US) English users, you might simply include a warning in the preferences window that they should either remap the appropriate keys, or switch to a US layout. If users find that enabling the option makes Vim unusable, they can always turn it off again. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
