I have set up some abbreviations to turn certain ASCII strings into
appropriate Unicode counterparts, for example from '==>' to '=>'. This works
wonderfully.

One problem, however, is when I now have a Unicode character sitting in my
buffer, I can't jump to it easily using the insert-mode 't' and 'f'
commands. Is there any way I could do this? The best for me would be if I
could do a 't=' and have it count occurrences of '=>' among the things to
jump to, since I originally typed '=' to get that character.

A related but different issue is getting those characters into the command
line buffer, for example if I want to search for a a string containing
Unicode characters. My abbreviations won't work in that buffer... is there a
way to get them to work? Or what about yanking/putting text between the main
buffer and the command buffer?

This mailing list has almost no traffic. While in principle it
is the correct one for your question, in practice you should
send a new message to vim_use (don't bother mentioning that you
posted here; just send a new message).

I can comment on this. If you yank some text (e.g. yiw), you can
paste it into the command line by pressing Ctrl-R then " (a
double quote for the unnamed register, see ':help registers').

Hi,

Have you found a solution for using VIm with Textexpander.

I discovered that by first inserted successive blank lines(more than 8) that
textexpander rules work just fine.

I am running 10.6.4 and the latest version TE.

Let me know if this works for you.

Apache httpd officially sets charset of .latin2.html files to
ISO-8859-2 [1], and so should vim.

au BufNewFile,BufReadPre *.latin2.html :e ++enc=latin2

That is the idea, although I do not know whether it is correct, where
to put it, how to handle file read/write and the like.  The same
applies to other supported encodings as well.  Also, no idea how to
handle multiple extensions; it seems that httpd actually
prefers .html.latin2 because of MultiViews (selecting candidate
sources on the fly).

The file http://winetricks.org/winetricks is, I hope, a utf-8 file,
but is not recognized as such in the vim that comes
with ubuntu 11.04 (with german locale, even).
It's mostly ascii, with just a few non-ascii lines, e.g.

#   If you do not see an o with two dots over it here [�], stop!
...
         mymenu="$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/
Electronic Arts/Th
e Sims Medieval/The Sims� Medieval.desktop"

That first line contains an o umlaut, and the second line contains the
trademark symbol.

Opening the file with vi winetricks shows

#   If you do not see an o with two dots over it here [ö], stop!
...
          mymenu="$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/
Electronic Arts/The Sims Medieval/The Sims�<84>� Medieval.desktop"

which isn't right.  Just opening up vi with no arguments, and doing
   !!cat winetricks
brings the file in great, and the utf-8 chars look good, but then
saving it complains
"winetricks"  CONVERSION ERROR in line 12328; 14640 lines, 496509
characters written
and yields a very corrupt file.

So what's going on?  It seems that vim has decided the file Is Not
UTF-8.  :se shows
   fileencoding=latin1
   fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1
even if I put
   set encoding=utf8 fileencoding=utf8
in ~/.vimrc.

Help...

Thanks,

Here's what i've found

Opening this file in gVim doesn't show it right. Encoding detected is
cp1251 (on my config)

issuing this command
:e ++enc=utf-8

did fine and displayed TM symbol, but it also gave warning about
illegal byte at line 7388
which looked so
    title="?Torrent 3.0" \
Previous section had � , so just replaced illegal char with it.

Saving/opening from command line - works fine with encoding detected

It doesn't answer your question, just a workaround

I've downloaded that file in my browser, then tried to open it in Vim,
which does not see it as UTF-8 even though I have 'enc' set to utf-8 and
'fencs' set to ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1

Intrigued, I hit 8g8 which brings me to line 7388 column 11 where the
character � ("micro" prefix, similar to Greek mu, 0xB5) cannot be UTF-8
(bytes in the range 0x80 to 0xBF can only exist in UTF-8 as "trailing
bytes" in a multibyte sequence whose first byte is 0xC0 or higher).
Moving the cursor one position right and repeating gives me only a beep,
so this is AFAICT the only illegal character in the file -- but one
illegal byte in the whole file is enough to reject UTF-8 as the file's
'fileencoding'.

Rereading the file with

	 :view ++enc=utf-8

reads it as UTF-8 at the cost of an error message about line 7388, where
the � is now replaced by a question mark (but the o-umlaut at line 71
appears as �).

It seems that your file is in UTF-8 at line 71 but in Latin1 at line
7388, which means that it is the file's fault, not Vim's fault, that
such a file cannot be displayed correctly.

See
	 :help 8g8
	 :help ++opt


Best regards,
Tony.

It looks like you created that file, so you need to fix it
because it is not UTF-8.

Downloading the file with wget and dumping the bytes shows that
the character which I have shown as "?" in the following is not
valid UTF-8:
    title="?Torrent 3.0" \

That single byte is hex B5 or binary 10110101. That starts with
"10" which is never valid as the first byte of a character in
UTF-8.

BTW you can find that in Vim by opening the file and typing 8g8
which jumps to the next illegal byte sequence, then typing ga to
show the value.

Yeah, that's what I gathered from the other replies.

Devanagari, and Indian-subcontinent scripts in general, are very
difficult for an editor like Vim, which was originally meant to render
one character in one cell at a time in left-to-right sequence. Its
capabilities were extended for East-Asian scripts (where "wide" CJK
characters are displayed in two cells each), for Hebrew (display the
whole split-window right-to-left), for Arabic (one glyph at a time,
which may represent two characters in the case of lam-alif, and whose
shape may vary depending on position in the "word", in one cell at a
time but right to left -- and I put quotes around "word" because some
"non-joining" letters such as alif, dal, dhal, raa, zaay and waw end a
"word" even in the middle of a word), and for Unicode composing
characters (one or more glyphs at a time, in one cell), but AFAIK the
problem of nagari and similar Hindic scripts in Vim hasn't yet been tackled.

If you want to try solving this problem, you're welcome, but it won't be
easy.

Hello !
Is it possible to enter characters UTF-8 on the code? For example some
command? Say - entered the command with the correct hex code and got
the correct character?

Best regards,
Oleg.

	 :help i_CTRL-V_digit (and even though it starts with i_ it also applies
to Command-line mode).

Yes. Some methods (X means «hex character»):
     <C-v>xXX
     <C-v>uXXXX
     <C-v>UXXXXXXXX
     <C-r>="\uXXXX"<CR>
     <C-r>=nr2char(0xX...)<CR>
(All meant to be run from insert or command mode. In second case input will go
to the command line.)

MY DEAR

This is to inform you that arrangements have been concluded as regards to the
shipment of your consignment of funds to your country. I choose to conclude it
and make sure it is off already before contacting you. I found out that this
consignment has been lying here because of non-payment of shipment fees.


This is why I decided to use my connections as the Shipment officer in charge of
the National Security warehouse. (This is where all the abandoned consignments
in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government of Nigeria.)


The consignment left Lagos Nigeria yesterday night en-route country via
Germany/Spain. It is metal box, silver in color with a weight of about 150kg,
the box is declared as containing diplomatic /inheritance documents only.


The name of the Courier Company based in Spain is Air Courier International
LtdCall me immediately so that I can give you the phone numbers of the courier
company in Spain so that you confirm when the consignment will arrive your
country.


All I need from you now is your full details.
(1) Your full names
(2) Your postal address
(3) Your private cell phone and fax number.
(4) Your international passport or Drivers lances if you have any.


I choose to do this for you because I studied your file and discovered that you
have paid a lot of money before abandoning this consignment and I believe you
will compensated me well when you receive the consignment.


Note: I know the content of the Box because I could see the amount you are being
owned by the Federal Government.


This is why I decided to get involved.You must also know that this arrangement
do not concern all the people you were dealing with in Nigeria before today as
this consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the Government.


Hence my involvement.
Am Waiting for your call Now +234-708 240 2705
EMAIL:  gejohnsqa@...
Best Regards,
DOCTOR GEORGE JOHNSON
