Worst: My meta-key-mappings in vim (<m-p> > for example) do not work anymore..... Hi Lukas. Locale en_US is working for you? Hmm, my vi was displaying umlauts in octal with en_US... it only started to work when I switched over to en_IE. Regarding the display issue, check if any of the LC_ environment variables are set... most importantly LC_CTYPE, which, IIRC, is the one that is considered when judging which characters are considered displayable and which not (=> octal in vi). If this setting differs from LANG (or is not set), try setting it to your LANG value (or experiment a little - generate en_IE and see if that changes anything). OTOH, I'm not sure what's wrong with your meta key, as I don't use vim... HTH, Jan -- Jan C. Nordholz <jckn At gmx net>
