Re: modifyOtherKeys ?

Hi,

Thanks for the info Bram.

I changed my terminal to send CSI sequence [27;3;121~ for M-y and a vim mapping for <M-y> now works :-)

It was related to altSendsEsc logic about what the terminal should send for these keys.

thx again for all things vim,

This sounds like you have "meta sends escape" enabled, which can cause
various problems. So first thing is to disable that.
