gVim doesn't recognize the Meta (Alt) Key in an imap after changing the encoding
- by René Nyffenegger
In order to edit html files, I have the following three imaps in a file that I source for filetype html:
imap <buffer> <M-[> ü
imap <buffer> <M-;> ö
imap <buffer> <M-'> ä
This works fine until I change the encoding of the html file with set enc=utf-8. Now, pressing Alt-[ for example gives me a Û.
Interestingly, after sourcing the same file again, it expands the imaps correctly.
This doesn't really make sense to me. So, why is this and how can I have a more constistent environment regarding imap and utf-8.
This is occuring with gVim 7.1 for Windows.
