Depends on how desperately you need a "q". You can use :help :x which has all the commands in editing.txt that you could need, for copying into a register and executing. If you need arbitrary letters :help SOFOTO gives you a nice rendering of the entire alphabet in both upper- & lower-case so you can copy/paste from there. Or try :r !man ascii to get pretty much every character available. :-) You can then copy them to build up macros or mappings so you can work around the mangled key. That said, I have the same problem (my Z/A/Q/1/Tab column doesn't work on my daily-driver laptop, so I grabbed an external USB keyboard for <$10 which pretty much makes it a non-issue for me. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
