Re: bracket problem while using d} or !}fmt on ubuntu

Hi,

The problem I pointed out on 10/10/2012 is still there (I survive with it!), but ...
- there is a workaround in vim I discovered recently, with { and } marks: use of '{ and '} works the same way as direct use of { and }
- it appears to be an AltGr problem (and not a bracket one as stated first, sorry), on my French keyboard. This is well shown with 'showcmd'. For d} typing, I need to type d AltGr } : d is shown on status bar,
AltGr removes the displayed d (so d is completely ignored) and } does its normal job to go to end of paragraph. This explains the reported symptom.

This AltGr problem is referenced since 2006 there
http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/quot-Alt-Gr-quot-key-problem-td1146058.html
. The solution given in that thread is to recompile vim with MOTIF instead of GTK GUI. Thus this problem seems to remain with GTK2-GNOME which was used here to compile vim under ubuntu. (Symptoms don't show exactly the same on ubuntu though.)

Is this a "vim problem" to fix?

Alain
