Hello,
after some years spent with Emacs (used it due to 'possibly' better Haskell
mode), I'm back with here and my wrists are telling me: "Thank you!".
I want to learn Vim and use it for all my writings which means native
texts as well as (python+qt) programming. One problem is that Vim's
command mode commands are suitable for US keyboard layout, but I use
Croatian one which has the following mapping:
š --> [
Š --> {
đ --> ]
Đ --> }
[ --> altgr+f
] --> altgr+g
{ --> altgr+b
} --> altgr+n
....
I can bear and use e.g. altgr+[ to get square bracket while doing Python
programming, but using CTRL-altgr+g instead of CTRL-] is too much like Emacs
and I do not want to go back there. :-)
I read about 'langmap' option and tried to put the following in my .vimrc:
set langmap=đ]
in order to be able to use: CTRL-đ to simulate CTRL-].
Have I misunderstood langmap feature or do I miss something?
I've found the following tip:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1348
but found some other info that langmap should work with utf-8 encoding in
vim>=7.2.x.
Any one can help?
Sincerely,
Gour
On my Belgian keyboard, [ and ] are also obtained by some AltGr
combination, see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/other/keybbe.htm
I can bear using AltGr+dead-^ (which then stops being a dead key) and
AltGr+$ to get square brackets, but to follow hotlinks in the help and
stop abbreviations I use the following:
:map <F9> <C-]>
:map! <F9> <C-]>
This is one of the first mappings I created (in Vim 6.0 or 6.1, when I
didn't yet know that my keyboard could produce the Ctrl-] code), it
worked then and it still works now.
For help hotlinks (or jumping to tags), double-clicking can also be used
(unless, of course, you want your hands manacled in front of ASDF [or
QSDF depending on locale] and HJKL, and your mouse unplugged, like I've
heard said that some Vim users do :-P ).
Best regards,
Tony.
