I'm using Vim 7.3 7/20/2010 under Windows 7. I usually start gvim from the command-line but sometimes from Windows Explorer.
After I start, do my work then use "ZZ" to save/exit, it leaves the keyboard in a strange state relating only to the window which was used to start gvim: before: abc123 after: ABC!@# after (shift key): ABC!@# after (caps lock): abc!@# There seem to be two ways to fix it... 1. exit and restart the window 2. in a bad window, re-start vim then type any command...even typing ":" and exiting the window with the mouse works. Just starting it then closing the window doesn't fix it - something must be typed. This doesn't happen with vim. This doesn't happen with gvim if exited with :wq or :x. I haven't noticed this behavior with any other application. I've noticed several tips and messages relating to mapping caps lock to escape but I don't map default keys. I'm hoping someone here has seen this before as its driving me nuts. It is incredibly difficult to retrain myself to :wq or :x rather than ZZ. I even tried mapping ZZ to :x and it still happens.
