It's dangerous, because in French, the letter A (even at the start of
a sentence) is often (more often than not, I guess) the uppercase
counterpart of unaccented a — and in that case it must not get an
accent. So if you mapped _all_ start-of-sentence A's to À you would
find yourself needing to correct many intances of À (and É and…) to
remove those pesky accents.
You are totally right Tony. I was thinking at only one use case,
forgetting all the others…
What you could do is use a keymap, $VIMRUNTIME/keymap/accents.vim
maybe, or maybe an owncoded one, so that you could type just `A rather
than Ctrl-K A!, and similarly just 'E instead of Ctrl-K E' etc.
That could be a solution indeed, if I'm able to not forget that :)
Lowercase French letters are available too, but one pair of important
French characters is missing in the Accents keymap: œ (as in œil, œuf,
bœuf, œsophage, etc.) and Œ (as in Œdipe).
For those, I'm used to type Ctrl-k ae for æ etc… They are simple to
remember.
Even French typewriters used to lack them, but some "international"
keyboards have them: on my AZERTY keyboard it's AltGr o without or with
Shift, but as the Accents keymap lacks them you may want to define them
in some owncoded keymap based on Accents — as oe and OE maybe.
See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_make_a_keymap
Thanks for the pointer.
Belle journée,
Steve
