I don't know...it looks like you know what you're doing though! That's a pretty thorough investigation. It seems like either Vim is not recognizing the special characters as a word, or Vim doesn't know how to toggle the case (but for some reason only when internal encoding is an 8-bit encoding). I tried explicitly setting 'iskeyword' to contain these characters but that had no effect on behavior. I also see no impact if I use gUaW instead of gUaw to force Vim to act on the entire non-whitespace string. So it looks like somehow Vim does not know how to change case of the accented letters, unless using a Unicode encoding. Very strange. I don't know enough about how that is handled in the code to comment on whether it is a bug, but it's certainly not expected behavior! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
