Hi,
I am connected to my linux centos 5.5 station with an azerty keyboard pc105,
with some accentuated vowels available by pressing one button (no shift, no
AltGr, etc.), such as:
éèçàù
I see them correctly on my screen just now and I hope that you can see them,
too.
If you don't: I typed "e" with acute accent, then "e" with grave accent, then "c" with cedilla,
then "a" with grave accent, then "u" with a grave accent.
I see them also when using firefox and OpenOffice, but neither at the shell
level with gnome-terminal 2.16.0 nor with vim 7.0.
The same symptoms appear with the other accentuated vowels reached via pressing two
buttons (e.g. to put a circonflex accent on the "a" or else).
The result of the locale command is:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C
What should I do to see the accentuated vowels when I type them within a line
shell command or when inputting text with vim ?
I read a huge of web pages about that, but nothing works.
Once some pertinent change will be found, should I just reopen a new terminal
window, or logout then login, or reboot ?
Thanks for any help.
Michel.
At a shell command, I think you're out of luck. AFAICT bash translates
as groups of two (or maybe more) characters anything above 0x7F. To
enter a string containing them, try using octal backslash-escapes.
In Vim, I have no problem, even in konsole or in gnome-terminal; nor do
I have any problems there with other "high ASCII" characters such as ²
(superscript 2), ³ (superscript 3), µ (Greek mu) or £ (pound sterling),
all of which are assigned single keys (possibly with Shift but not with
AltGr or dead keys) on my Belgian AZERTY keyboard.
In my vimrc, I set Vim to use UTF-8 'encoding' while keeping
'termencoding' at whatever was handed out to it; and my $LC_CTYPE is set
to fr_BE.utf8. The result of my "locale" command is as follows:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.utf8
LC_TIME=en_GB
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.utf8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_GB.utf8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
