Thank you, I'm new to vim :)
As you've indicated, I removed the silent! flag, removed the exe before setlocal..., changed exe matchadd to call matchadd. Still no echo output. Changed it to echomsg, but still no output. ? ----------------------------------------------------------- I do have a lot of problems with encoding in Vim. I noted that Utf8 is not a good solution. 1) printing I cannot print in utf8 format on my printer in VIM. Letters as èéà are printed as A' and other string symbols I do not have any problem printing in utf8 format in other text editors. 2) opening files Vim doesn't detect utf-8 or latin1 well. Everything is mixed up. Without anything written in the vimrc file, all utf8 files are opened in latin1 (with unreadable éòà letters) If I put this ":set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1" in my vimrc, all latin1 files are opened in utf8 format (with unreadable - converted- éòà letters) ---- I tried everything during these last months but it doesn't work as I want. I do not have any problem in other editors. Notepad++ p.e.opens utf8 files as utf8 files and latin1 files as latin1 files. Btw latin1 is the default format in france and italy, I write a lot of text in both languages. Hope you can help me to find a solution.
