<snip> It's been a long time since I was doing any motif or Xt development, but this is complaining about a mnemonic character, and unless your X environment is really weird, that means hitting Meta + a single character. If your keyboard layout requires you to hit Meta + some key combination to produce that character, you wouldn't be able to have Meta + that character. IIRC, if the character is produced by a key combination rather than a single key press, you might get the same error. I would suggest looking through all of the menus in VIM for any underlined characters that you can't type with a single key press, as that's probably the problem. Given the name is "subMenu" it's probably for a menu or submenu, not for an action item (but I haven't looked at the relevant section of vim source, so that's just a guess!). If you can locate the one (it's probably just one), you should be able to determine if it's hard-coded, in a resources file somewhere, or both, and then set up a resources file to override with something more appropriate, or edit the resources file. TOM PS Most of the time "Meta" is now a reference to the "Alt" key, but that might not be true. :) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
