I don't know why dead keys don't work in gvim. But consider using the compose keys instead of a dead key. Personally, I find the dead-key painful to use for common characters. I prefer the compose key which also allows to type many other characters. I use xfce4 and in keyboard setting, I use: * keyboard layout: English (US, Euro on 5) * compose key: Left win The same settings must exist in other windowing environments than xfce4. And to type a character like é for example I do.. Left-Window key + e + ' (that's 3 key strokes without pressing them at the same time). To type ê, I do: Left-Window key + e + ^ (etc.) That works fine everywhere, including in gvim or vim in terminal. Regards Dominique -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
