Thank you, Christian. It is indeed mentionned at the end of section 1.6 of map.txt, I'd just never read it (and I suppose I wouldn't have thought of not finding a character as an error). As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't mind if that compatibility were turned off with an option. Best, Paul -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
