Re: Typing accents

Hi, Tony.

Sorry for the delay to answer. I actually downgrade my Vim to 7.2 again. I am
in a project dead line and could not stop to check this issue. I'm planning to
do that the next weekend.

I tried that when first saw the issue. Those commands output nothing. By the
way, in the command line typing any of the characters ", ', ~, or ^ DOES work
fine.

I though that too, I use a environment variable LANG setted as en_US so that
some applications doesn't get translated automatically. Some translations are
really bad. The first release of Vim 7.2 had an issue about the mode messages
in the command window when translated to Portuguese. Specifically with accented
characters and cedilla. Because of that I put in my _vimrc the command
'language en_US'. This was actually removed and only the 'LANG' environment
variable was enough to prevent Vim from translate the menus and messages. By
the way the current output of 'language ctype' is "C".

In a last try I put only the 7.3 binaries in the folder where I have the 7.2
version. The problems seams to be gone which lead me to think that this
problem resides in one script or plugin in the new release. But I can't say
this for sure. I will try to solve this in the next weekend.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Alessandro Antonello
