vim grabbing é

vogt · 2007-10-30 02:13:08

quite bizarre but true: my vim grabs my é (not É) and does not allow it to be printed (it stays in insert mode though)
EXCEPTION: when paste is set, on a new file

even if I could isolate this behavior to a specific plugin (of the numerous plugins loaded) or some conflict

what can I do about it: no actions are bound to é, and I have no idea how to find out which keybinding is at fault:

ls ~/.vim/plugin
DoxygenToolkit.vim         SyntaxFolds.vim  filebrowser.vim      libList.vim      rails.vim       themes.vim         vimperator.vim       winmanager.vim
FeralToggleCommentify.vim  a.vim            getscriptPlugin.vim  minibufexpl.vim  remoteOpen.vim  valgrind.vim       vtreeexplorer.vim    wintagexplorer.vim
GetLatestVimScripts.vim    colemak.vim      imaps.vim            project.vim      taglist.vim     vimballPlugin.vim  winfileexplorer.vim

This happens in any type of file? Or specific ones?

more testing:

appears to happen upon having opened files with extension tex (new ones are fine)

it appears to be due to latex-suite,

it persists after having removed an installation to /usr/share/vim (the stuff is in ~/.vim/ftplugin)

this stuff is awfully hard to search for, so does anyone have any suggestions?

Use \'e in latex? I avoid to use accented characters in italian coming from keyboard.

I usually prefer \'e over é and \`e over è. I do remember some latex compiler choke on non ASCII characters.

This will probably help:

yup, that fix does work (should have really checked that faq first)

thanks a lot!
