Try reading ":help map-alt-keys", it might give you some enlightenment
for your trial-and-error procedure.
Note that é (0xE9) is seen by Vim as the same as Alt-i (i.e. 0x80 +
0x69); so hitting alt-i in Insert mode should insert the é letter (with
me it does, in gvim for GTK2/Gnome2), and hitting the é key (if you have
one — I do, on my AZERTY keyboard) should trigger any mapping defined
for <M-i> for the mode you are in.
Best regards,
Tony.
