Can you provide me with a test case so that I have something to check when I start working on this feature? I.e. state which input method (or language) you use in OSX, and then give some examples of keystrokes which do not give the desired output (and let me know what the output should be). > There are a couple of reasons I didn't find the documentation earlier: > > 1.

Like Nico said, this is "how it is" in Mac OS X. I don't see any point in changing it and I hope you can live with it! ;) > 2.

Actually, as of r277, all the README says is "please type :h macvim" (more or less). So I have already done this. (Not verbatim, but most of the stuff that was in the README is now in the help file.) :) /Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
