Hi,
I use vim-latexsuite in an urxvt terminal with neo keyboard layout.
The terminal is set to _not_ send an ESC-prefix when meta is pressed,
but to set the 8th bit.
vim-latex has a mapping for 'meta-i' to insert the command for a new
item in a list.
When I press 'meta-i' followed by two arbitrary other keys, I get é in
vim now. When I press the keys usually needed to get é, vim does what
'meta-i' is supposed to do.
With the terminal set to send an ESC-prefix, behaviour does not change
much: meta-i moves the cursor to the left and é still inserts a new
item …
This is quite annoying, especially in combination with vim-latexsuite
which relies heavily on mappings using 'meta', and I was unable to get
it to work properly.
Am I missing something important?
Is this a problem in vim? Can it be fixed?
Thanks and best regards
henk
Try reading ":help map-alt-keys", it might give you some enlightenment
for your trial-and-error procedure.
Note that é (0xE9) is seen by Vim as the same as Alt-i (i.e. 0x80 +
0x69); so hitting alt-i in Insert mode should insert the é letter (with
me it does, in gvim for GTK2/Gnome2), and hitting the é key (if you have
one — I do, on my AZERTY keyboard) should trigger any mapping defined
for <M-i> for the mode you are in.
Best regards,
Tony.
