Sorry, when I said I'd put in a "plug" it was kinda pun (i.e.
plug==advertisement) :-)
It is actually a source patch (not a Vim script plugin), which is the
only real way to intercept character events.
You can get it on sourceforge,
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1541
but you'll have to be able to compile your own copy of Vim.
If you do decide to try it out, please send or post your comments, so that
1) I can improve on it,
2) third party feedback is one element for such source patches ever
becoming part of the released Vim version.
P.S. Instead of unsubscribing, you might see if your mail system has
the option of filtering all the [email protected] mail into a subfolder.

Eric and Hari,
Thanks for the help. I was taking this on as a side project and this is
my first experience programming vim. Hari, I haven't had time to
implement your method and Eric, I'll be awaiting your plug. Could
either of you email me directly with any updates? I just subscribed to
vim.org and I am getting way too much mail for my taste! I am going to
unsubscribe until I have further questions.
Thank you very much,
Jason
