$LANG is completely irrelevant, the meaning of word (what is treated as a word character) is controlled by `&iskeyword` option. What is worse is that there is a number of syntax and ftplugin files which think that this is not a user setting, so this option is rather filetype-specific. Note that resetting it may break syntax, need to adjust syntax file to use :syn iskeyword. If this is the case it is a bug. Note: :syn iskeyword is relatively recent addition (7.4.1142, Jan 2016), you may get a difference in the behaviour solely because your Vim is very outdated (7.4 was released in Aug 2013). Also feel free to file a bug report to ftplugin maintainer if filetype plugin happens to alter this setting. Do not forget to update Vim before filing any bug reports. > Thanks, > > > saurabh > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
