Re: GVIM: alt/meta keys: inconsistent results for getchar(0)

Additional question: When I press <m-down> only once, I get one '<80><fc>^H<80>ku' and 9 '<80><fc>^H' although no key is pressed at that time.

This can also be done with:

echo getchar()|for i in range(10) | echo string(getchar(0)) | sleep 50m | endfor

Is that expected? In this situation, I'd naivly expect the first getchar() to return '<80><fc>^H<80>ku', and the subsequent getchar(0) to return 0.
