Is there a quick fix/workaround? (reposting my mailing list post:) This is a bug in vim. vim itself can't cope with the distinction between Alt+letter keys, and Unicode characters. This has nothing to do with the terminal. For more background on the subject, see my infamous "Dear Bram" thread on vim-dev: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_dev/2bp9UdfZ63M[1-25-false] Thank you for your fast reply. A lot of people requested this and after 3+ years it's still active! However, why do I have the feeling that it should work? Why does it work In xterm, then? I suppose you can close this listing. It's kind of a babel tower and is quite sufficiently explained on: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Get_Alt_key_to_work_in_terminal I was quite emotional and perturbed on being forced to abandon konsole in favor of xterm+uxterm I discovered that I can get "\left(\right)<++>" just by double-typing "((". So I am fine and happy with konsole. :) All the best and thanks! |
