All the normal commands and regular motions should work out of the box (they do for me). As I already told you in our private exchange, is not possible to use greek characters in command mode, thus is not supported by 'langmap' or any other known way to me. There is also another patch By Konstantin Korikov for 7.0 that you can use CTRL-* in GTK-Gui but I never used it. http://lostclus.linux.kiev.ua/Other_Works/Patches?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=vim70-langmapctrl.patch Regards, Agathoklis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
