quote: "it is not possible to use greek characters in command mode" May I ask why is that so? You said "command line" in our private exchange and I didn't understand what you were talking about. landmap is still great for me. When in command mode you can see what you type and switch.

As I already told you in our private exchange, is not possible to use greek characters in command mode, thus is not supported by 'langmap' or any other known way to me. There is also another patch By Konstantin Korikov for 7.0 that you can use CTRL-* in GTK-Gui but I never used it. http://lostclus.linux.kiev.ua/Other_Works/Patches?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=vim70-langmapctrl.patch Regards, Agathoklis --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

Re: Toggle language when I switch to command mode.
I gave langmap a chance but it has problems... Actually the same problems that occur if I map all greek characters one by one to the appropriate english ones with map. ":" wont work neither will command sequences like "gg" On Wed, 2009-03-25 at 20:58 +0200, Agathoklis D.

Re: Toggle language when I switch to command mode.
Thank you for your fast reply my friend. well I checked and: pa...@protagoras:~$ vim --version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 Included patches: 1-130 so I guess I might be ok. I will check langmap and I will let you know... Ευχαριστώ! On Wed, 2009-03-25 at 20:58 +0200, Agathoklis D.

This can be partly solved by using the 'langmap' option, see help 'langmap' for details, where is also a specific example for the greek language. However, until recently (patch 7.2.109) this option was broken for multibyte locales and judging from the headers of your email this also should apply to you. So the recommended solution is to upgrade Vim (current patchlevel is 148). Regards, Agathoklis --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

Toggle language when I switch to command mode.
Hello, I am using vim to edit documents in greek and it is really frustrating to have to alt_shift all the time to enter commands. Can vim ignore the language when in command mode? If not, can I have it toggling the language while switching to command mode? Thanks in advance for any answers. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
