In that case, I think Andy's autocommand might work; but I would copy
the keymap script to ~/.vim/keymap, give it another name, change its
b:keymap_name setting accordingly, and give that particular keymapping
another {lhs}, maybe N° (capital N followed by the degree sign). The
downside of this particular {lhs} is that you won't see a capital N
(or whatever it is lmapped to) appear until after a timeout, a cursor
move, or after you follow it by either a character other than °, or by
going out of Insert mode. In my own "russian-phonetic" keymap I have
this exact mapping, as set by the following line:

N° № U+2116 NUMERO SIGN

and I hardly even notice that when I hit the N key (to get a Cyrillic
Н 'en') the Н doesn't appear immediately. Maybe I type too fast for
that: sometimes when 'imi' is set wrong (0=Latin instead of
1=Cyrillic) it happens that I type three or four words before I look
at the screen and see that they have all been taken literally as Latin
script. (I am currently slowly compiling a Russian-French dictionary,
and that kind of text of course requires constant switching between
alphabets.)


Best regards,
Tony.
