Re: [PLUG] Re: VIM and ASCII
|
Your ansewer was fine but my question was how to enter
an extended ascii symbol in VIM. The character set is
unimportant to the question. I realize that there are
different symbols for different standards. Entering
them in VIM is the same no matter what term you are
using or . Someone did post CTRL-V and I must have
overlooked it with the 8 paragpraph on ISO and ANSI
theory that surrounded it.
My question should have sounded like this.
What is the correct key combination for entering
extended ascii characters in VIM.
System:
Mandrake 9.1
Linux kernel 2.4.21
TERM=xterm
SHELL=/bin/bash
VIM 6.1
keyboard = 107 key Dell
monitor = Viewsonic P95f+ 19"
I thought using the old ms-dos way of entering them as
an example would shine light on the question and
result in a ansewer. Man now im "grumpy" ... who talks
like that...
