I found by accident that the simplest way to defeat the ' dead key is just to hit it twice; that gives you the apostrophe. HItting the space bar won't do it, unfortunately -- if it did, this would be very comfortable for people used to the US-International keyboard layout. But a double tap on the apostrophe works great. I'm very grateful to learn about keymap=accents. It's much more convenient than the Ctrl-K commands I was struggling with! Thanks. - B -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
