I am using gVim 6.4 (on a Windoze platform).

Is there any way to define ALT-anyting mappings on that platform?

The result of 
:verbose imap 


is
i  # g  

where # is a non-english symbol (actually the greek keyboard equivalent 
of c - the greek letter gamma - note that I am Greek, so I have also 
installed greek keyboard/fonts support).


Come on gurus, I am sure you have a workaround for my case  :-)

 What is the result of doing

 :verbose imap 


 If that doesn't give a clue, it might be something 
 with your keyboard.

 get 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) on your windoze client, unpack it, 
and pack it again (using 7-zip)

to an alternative format, according to your heart's desire :-)

I do not have bzip2 on my HP servers. Could Vim7 be bundled up into a 
tar.gz just like the .bz2 distribution?

Thanks a lot Suresh.
The only problem is that your suggestion does not work :'( .
Actually, it is the ALT-c mapping that cannot be set.
I tried it with CTRL-p and it works just fine.

" use Ctrl-p to enter column selection mode
imap  g

Albeit, it would be heaven, if I could set the ALT-c mapping. Besides, 
that's the windoze approach. :-)

 Try creating the following insert-mode map: 
 
  :imap  g


 and then using the sequence  and hold SHIFT etc.  If you
 like it, place "imap  g" in your vimrc file.

Column Selection

[Elias Chatzigeorgiou]

Hello,
   I use the mswin behaviour and insert mode for editing ( "source 
mswin.vim" and "set insertmode" in _vimrc )


To enable column selection I use the sequence: CTRL-O, g, CTRL-H and 
hold the SHIFT during the selection.


Is it possible to simplify the above key sequence? Ideally I would like 
the cream-for-vim equivalent (ALT-SHIFT

to enable column selection) - but I don't like ice-cream-s :-)

Regards,
   Elias Chatzigeorgiou.
