Depending on your environment, Vim *should* be able to discern between alt+i and alt+I (i.e., alt+shift+i). A quick test is to go into insert mode, hit control+V and then type both key-pairs (alt+i and alt+shift+i) to see what is entered. You may either get "^[i"/"^[I" or some other value. Either way, it should show you what Vim thinks you're typing. It's also possible that, because those characters can also map to certain letters (such as é and É) depending on your file-encoding, you might have some other mapping that is interfering with it. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
