Thank you Bram. I believe there are C algorithms (someplace) that define what is a Thai syllable. (I am not sure if this is the same as the ICU algorithms or not.) This would allow wrapping and navigation etc. at syllable level. I wouldn't recommend it for line breaking, but it would be less CPU intensive than a dictionary solution. However, for use of '*' and other nifty word level commands, tapping into ICU dictionary algorithms seems necessary. In my naivety, I ask, could we enable a setting that turns on/off ICU dictionary algorithms for Southeast and Southern Asian languages "in one fell swoop"? Or does this need to be hammered out one language at a time? And?? If ICU dictionary algorithms are supported, would this mean thai spelling would be naturally supported, or would this be a separate step? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
