:h new-conceal This however allows to visually display a portion of a text by a single other char (not 2 as you asked about). In your case, you can do: syn match MyConcealedChar /?/ conceal cchar=Ąę :set conceallevel=2 concealcursor=nv See also :h 'conceallevel' :h 'concealcursor' regards, Christian -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
