"international English" seems to me a little contradictionary... :) Either it is English or international... ;))) Any keyboard works with vim. Either you have to do some finger yoga to reach '[' and friends (QWERTZ/german) and you easily reach the umlauts (for example while writing german texts) or you easily reach '[' and friends in one go and need to use digraphs for the umlauts. Or...you use xmodmap (UNIX/Linux) to remap some keys (this is user-wide) Or...you tell vim your story and remap some keys locally. This solution reached the highes specialization and is therefore most customizable... Only my two Parsec...your lightspeed may vary... ;) HTH Keep hacking! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
