This is weird .. I'm sure I replied to this and yet there's no trace of
my reply anywhere.
I'll probably use the dot '.' .. hope it doesn't clash with anything..
Or maybe there's a :digraph that would look good and yet not cause
trouble in email, printouts, .. eg.

Thank you for your suggestions.
If you're using Latin1 or UTF-8, you may try:
- Currency sign (decimal 164, ¤, ^KCu)
- Middle dot (decimal 183, ·, ^K.M)
I did both:
:set com+=fb: Cu
:set com+=fb: .M
.. entered via a Ctrl-V Ctrl-K followed by the digraph .. and they do
don't use Ctrl-V before the Ctrl-K. Just Ctrl-K followed by the digraph.
In each case you should see one character (a hollow bullet with
outgrowing teeth on the four diagonals, or a dot at mid-height) appear
as soon as you type the second character of the digraph. But if
'encoding' is neither Latin1 nor UTF-8 these characters may or may not
exist.
not seem to be recognized. When I reach the specified textwidth the
text entered wraps to column 1.
.. I also tried with asterisk '*' and the result is different and rather
unexpected: When I reached the end of the first line, Vim automatically
inserts an asterisk and a space in columns 1-2 before carrying over the
word I started on the previous line. The strange thing about this is
looks like Vim is treating ' *' in columns 1-2 as the middle part of a
3-part comment of this kind:
/*
*
*
*
*/
according to was already set in 'comments' and in particular
s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/
that if I do a:
:set com=fb:*
.. instead of
:set com+=fb:*
this problem goes away (line 2 wraps to column 3 as expected).
Without the + you set the option from scratch; with it you add to what
was already set. See ":help 'comments'".
Are there conflicting values in my default ..
:set com?
- or even a lowercase o, but in that case you should make sure that it
isn't recognised as a bullet unless followed by a space or tab.
Will keep this one in mind in case I can't get either or the above to
work.
I'm running Vim 6.4 .. in case it matters.
Thanks
