Re: imap: triggered by completely different key sequence

Normally like non-vim digraphs, just like on the console: The first
keystroke is the accent key ('), the second keystroke is the letter
(e) which is then displayed a one character (é).

Ok.... I didn't even notice that!

No, :ab lists no abbreviation at all here.

Good point, I wasn't aware of this technique. So ctrl-k'e works for
me, too. This is two keystrokes more each time but quite o.k. for me
here.

I am still curious why the other way (pressing ' and then e) is
interpreted like Alt+i. I have learned now that this produces the same
letter symbol, however, something appears screwed to me if a key
mapping for a complete different keystroke sequence is not relevant
for key mapping.

Thank's a lot
