There's no Meta+Key entries in termcap/terminfo database. See readline documentation for "convert-meta" and "input-meta" options and xterm(1) for "eightBitInput" and "metaSendsEscape" resources. Also, take a look at :help :map-alt-keys :
As of this writing, some mainstream terminals like gnome-terminal and konsole use the ESC prefix. There doesn't appear a way to have them use the 8th bit instead. Xterm should work well by default. Aterm and rxvt should work well when started with the "--meta8" argument. You can also tweak resources like "metaSendsEscape", "eightBitInput" and "eightBitOutput". > What I'm saying, is that, if my (fr_BE) keyboard interface is sending the [..skip..] > one and half a dozen of the other. Vim should _support_ Meta-Sends-Escape mode which is A Must Have for non-ascii 8-bit locales and it have nothing common with "keyboard drivers". All (at least most of them) "keyboard drivers" are confugurable. Otherwise, all vimscripts that imaps <M-something> are broken. -- Regards, Sir Raorn.
