I use keyhelper to map the japanese key next to the control key as the alt key. This works well in most applications but in the console and especially when running vim, this alt key is interpreted as escape key. Do you have some advice on how to prevent vim from interpreting the alt key as escape?
One problem here is to map characters like ~, which is AltGr+'+' on a German keyboard. Now vim understands this as Escape + '+', which is not what I want.
I use this keyhelper.xml file (
https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Keyhelper_German_Keyboard_Layout)[1] for my USB keyboard. Does somebody have an idea how to map the tilde or how to make vim correctly interpret this mapping?
Or: is there a chance that there will ever be a 'native' Qtopia based version of vim? As there is a kde port I figure it should be doable somehow. I currently use vim 6.3 (I think I took it from the cacko feed).
Cheers,
Thomas.
