Re: vim keyboard mode via X server.
how would you type the letters hjkl into text? (almost any program needs to be able to use text, if only as the name of a file for its data). From what I understand, international modes are togled on and off with a keypress. It would work the same way, like vim insert and normal mode. - Ian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

vim keyboard mode via X server.
I've read that Xorg X server can have keyboards change modes to do international character set. It seems like you should be able to make a vim mode where jikl are arrow keys, $ = end, ^ = home, ctrl-u = pgup, ctrl-d = pgdn. There are some others. Anyone heard of this before? Any suggestions? - Ian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
