Another way of checking what is going on is to use the -W switch which will record keys that vim is recieving: vim -XW /tmp/keys # do the experiment cat /tmp/keys zzzzzzzzZZZ So ineed vim is getting ZZ from the terminal emulator. I am not sure why it get's three Z though. I'd expected to see only two of them. Regards, Marcin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
