That would be likely; ncurses is (AFAIK) *much* better than termcap.

Bug report: mapping fails with a few characters (i.e.: « :imap ’ foo » fails)

Hi

Mapping seems to be buggy with some characters.
For instance:

:imap ' foo

does not work (the apostrophe is U+2019). If the mapped string
contains this apostrophe but does not begin with it, there is no
problem. For instance, this works:

:imap x' foo

But it is impossible to map a string beginning with this apostrophe,
and the <Char-0x2019> construct does not help. This is weird, because
there is no problem with mapping the usual apostrophe U+0027. Other
paradoxes can be found : It is possible to map the no-break space
(U+00A0) but not its thin version (U+202F), the usual minus sign
(U+002D) but not the en-dash (U+2013) and the em-dash (U+2014).

I first thought vim had a problem with mapping multibyte characters
but it actually deals well with most of them. Any explanation, why the
mapping does not work with some characters?

Thanks for your help

Thomas

Try getting ncurses and gettext libraries.  Both are available
packages in cygwin.

There are several ncurses packages to choose from, but I finally 
figured out that I needed libncurses-devel, so I installed that, 
reconfigured and rebuilt vim and voila:  color!

It's not as clear to me what I need to resolve these differences:

    > -gettext
    111c111
    < Linking: gcc   -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe       -lncurses  -liconv -lintl        
    ---
    > Linking: gcc   -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe       -lncurses  -liconv        

My Cygwin installation already has

    /usr/include/libintl.h
    /usr/lib/libintl.a

Frodak,

I just checked the patch on SVN revision 223, it works as expected.

I usually perform some shell related tasks using vim on cygwin.
