Hello,
i am using a Canadian Qwerty keyboard layout with dead keys for entering "^" and "¨" accents. For
example, typing what would be "[o" in US Qwerty produces "ô".
Is it possible to map a dead key in Vim (in Normal mode for example)? I would like to remap
the keyboard so that pressing the US Qwerty <[> key acts as "[" even in
Canadian layout.
Thanks,
Alexey.
It is not possible to map only the dead key, because when you hit it the
keyboard interface (part of your OS or of X11 or…) sends nothing to Vim,
it waits until you hit the next key. You can map â ê î ô û ŷ or even, if
Thanks, but i do not think that Vim does not receive anything when i press a dead key: when in Insert mode i
press the dead <^>, it shows "^", which turns into "ô" when i press <o>.
Alexey.
That might mean that the "dead key" feature isn't due to your keyboard
interface but to some keymap or mapping (or maybe some langmap, but
that's less likely): see (while editing the file in question)
:help 'keymap'
:verbose setl keymap?
:help 'langmap'
:verbose setl langmap?
:verbose map! <Char-0x5E>
In that case, change the keymap or mapping to remove the multikey {lhs}
starting with ^ (there should be more than one). On my system, the dead
keys happen ahead of Vim, and e.g. also when typing this email in
Mozilla SeaMonkey. See
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/other/keybbe.htm for details
of my keyboard layout.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MODIFY-IN-PLACE A KEYMAP WHICH IS IN
$VIMRUNRIME/keymap/ because any upgrade could undo your changes.
Instead, copy it under another name in ~/.vim/keymap/ (on Unix) or
~/vimfiles/keymap/ (on Windows, but using Vim terminology) (while
creating any directories which don't exist yet), make the changes there,
then find where the keymap is invoked (e.g. with ":verbose setl keymap")
and invoke the new one.

Tony.
