Ah, I see. I am pretty recent convert to both Vi and MacVim, that's why I was a bit unsure whether I was doing something wrong, or if this was a problem with MacVim (or, as it appear, a problem further down the "stack"). Anyway, I have one additional piece of information which I am not sure if it will be useful to you or not, but anyway: It seems there is some sort of difference between pressing "Ctrl-Alt-9" and just pressing "9"; in the latter case, MacVim interprets the "9" as the number before a command (i.e. the "9" appears at the bottom of the screen, and MacVim waits for additional input, e.g. a movement command), wheras in the former case MacVim "beeps", like the keycombo is not defined or something like that. I am not familiar with the inner workings here, so I can't tell what really is happening, but it appears MacVim sees some sort of difference between "Ctrl-Alt-9" and just "9". Anyway, I still want to say thanks for the good work; other than this, I really enjoy MacVim, and if it turns out unfeasible to fix the Ctrl-] issue, I guess I just have to remap it to something else!
