Well, I suppose there is, either by means of a font editor (I suppose such a 
program exists but I don't know under what name) or by binary editing (but I 
don't know what must be changed).

Another question is of course the copyright: by editing that font in such a 
way, you would quite likely be infringeing the terms of the license under 
which you got it. Not that it would matter much as long as you don't 
redistribute the modified version.

Best regards,
Tony.

bracket completion

Anyone know of a way to achieve bracket completion? For example if your 
typing a if statement, if (something) { once you type the first bracket
the 2nd one is inserted below for you. Scribes and a few other editors
have this functionality and was hoping to achieve it with Vim. Another
thing that this does, if you were to type $data[' for example. The 2nd '
would be inserted for you after your cursor. Just seems to save time
when I played with scribes a few days ago. I was looking through the
help, scripts and mailing list archives for something like this but have
not hit any matches. Just wondering if people have ideas on how this
could be done or maybe know of an existing way. Thanks in advance.

Re: Why does "<F2>" sometimes get inserted in the text?

No, this is a sporadic thing.  The weird thing is that vim is obviously recognizing that I hit the F2 key (since
it inserts <F2>) but it isn't performing the action that's associated with F2.

It sounds like you have the mapping defined in normal mode, with :map,
but not in insert mode, with :map!.  Often with Vim one needs two
mappings; for example, I use

map  <F7>    :noh<CR>
map! <F7>   <C-O>:noh<cr>

to turn off search highlighting till the next search.  Note that the
:map! version has to leave insert mode temporarily; that's why they're
separate.  vi was like this.

Apologies if I'm off the mark.

John

	:inoremap ( ()<Left>

etc.

This assumes brace indenting is taken care of (by 'cindent' or 'indentexpr').

IIUC, you can still enter an "unpaired brace" (or bracket or paren) by 
prefixing it with Ctrl-V (or with Ctrl-Q if Ctrl-V pastes).

Best regards,
Tony.

Did you try this in a help file?
:help
then go to a tag and press c-j

<F12> Works for me too but I hoped I can use the c-j, I do not know
why should there be a problem with nomodifiable files like vimhelp
