Dear Vim Gurus,

I am using Linux in a UTF-8 locale, and I have a problem with using less
as a pager for manual pages: I cannot search for options, since they use
a dash instead of a minus sign, and I don't have an easy way to type the
hyphen (I have put some xterm definitions for various dashes in
.Xdefaults, using ctrl-minus, alt-minus, etc, but I always forget which
is which :'( ). I thought I could use vim's less.sh as a replacement for
less, but it has a problem with the vt100 escape sequences which are
used in the man page for emboldening and underlining. Is there a vim
macro file which can be used instead of less.vim, or in addition to it,
which can handle escape sequences, and not show the raw data?


Thanks,


Zvi.
