Hi,
I use Vim everyday, I could say at every hour :-) in X graphical mode.
$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Aug 24 2009 20:12:41)
Included patches: 1-245
I tried to use Vim with no X, in text base mode, but there was one
problem with accented characters. I could not use them and the ones
that where inserted before in graphical mode were like strange
characters.
Example:
ã with X, is ~a in text mode
the same with é --> 'e
I checked LC_ALL and is defined to pt_PT in either situations.
What should I correct to be able to use Vim in text mode in my
Slackware 13 64 bits box?
Luis
There seems to be something weird in the way your terminal represents
characters. What does bash answer to
echo -e '\0351'
? Mine replies with a reverse-video question mark because my terminal is in
UTF-8; if yours is in Latin1 the reply ought to be é, but if it is 'e it
shows that the terminal interprets é -> 'e after bash outputs it. (In a
UTF-8 terminal, to get é you need echo -e '\xC3\xA9' but then your LC_CTYPE
[or your LC_ALL, which overrides all other locale settings] should be
pt_PT.utf8 .)
I tried in both X and text console and the result is the same: 'é'
So, this must be a vim configuration issue, I presume.
Luis
Hm. What does vim answer to
:verbose set enc? tenc?
:lang
(I would expect encoding=Latin1, termencoding= (empty), no line saying
where either of them was set, and all language values set to pt_PT.
Anything else could put us on the right track.)
Oh, and BTW, how do you type é in Vim? What happens in Insert mode when
you hit Ctrl-V followed by 233 (two-three-three)? Or Ctrl-K then e then
an apostrophe?
Apostrophe-e sounds like a language-mapping set by the "accents" keymap. So:
:verbose setlocal keymap? imi?
in the window where you see 'e instead of é and ~a instead of ã -- what
does Vim say? And what does gvim say, which displays them correctly?
Best regards,
Tony.
