Hi there,
something's up with my vi(m) editor in my mac pro Terminal app (Mac OS
Catalina) and it's driving me insane.
It happens when I make a new file, say a python function in which I might write
from the command line:
$vim function.py
def function(variable):
pass
then I type :wq to save it and exit.
Next time I open it I'll see each letter bracketed by ^@, as in:
^@d^@^@e^@^@f^@ ^@f^@^@u^@^@n... you get the idea.
Interestingly, if I add text to an existing file, save it and close it, the
issue isn't there next time I open it. It seems to happen only when I make a
fresh file and with vim 8.1.2292 as well as 8.2.1719.
Any help to solve this would be much appreciated.
Keep up the great work,
Nicola
Open a non-existing filename in Vim and then type:
:verbose set term? termencoding? encoding? fileencoding? fileencodings?
:language ctype
with of course <Enter> at the end of each line. What are the answers?
Best regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
thanks for the instructions. Here are the responses to those commands:
:verbose set term? termencoding? encoding? fileencoding? fileencodings?
term=xterm-256color
termencoding=
encoding=utf-16
Last set from ~/.vimrc line 3
fileencoding=
fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1
Last set from ~/.vimrc line 3
:language ctype
Current ctype language: "en_CA.UTF-8"
Best regards,
Nicola
