cmd + é does not work

[R0GG]

Hi,

I have this settings in my .vimrc but who knows why, with the lastest release cmd + é (D-é) does not work to switch tab.

map <D-&> 1gt<CR> map <D-é> 2gt<CR> map <D-"> 3gt<CR> map <D-'> 4gt<CR>

Also, imap <D-é> 2gt<CR>does not work. Instead, it writes <D-é>

Everything works with the snapshot 100.

edit: also, cmd + è does not work

edit: everything works fine for snapshot under 104 for 105 and 106, map <D-"> 3gt<CR> does not work and for 107+ map <D-é> 2gt<CR> and map <D-è> 7gt<CR> do not work

It sounds the root cause of this issue is #300 right?

with debug:

That's not the same issue as #300. I copy pasted the same part of code from 104 to 112 and it does not work.

[R0GG]

I'm pretty sure that it's more a Vim issue than a MacVim issue.

I know I can input é character with this key sequence, option + e, and e. It sounds you have a keyboard which allows to input é character directly, right? I can't investigate this issue.

Still not working. (8.0.1203 (139)) To reproduce the issue, you have to switch your keyboard layout: go to system preference->keyboard->Input Sources, add french-> ABC azerty.

Then add map <D-é> 2gt<CR> to your .vimrc. Now open 2 tabs in gui macvim. Check that your keyboard layout is the french one and then try to switch to the 2nd tab using cmd + é which should be cmd + 2 on a qwerty layout. It is as simple as that.

@R0GG Does your issue is still actual? Which macOs do you use? Which keyboard layout do you use?

[R0GG]

Yup masOS Mojave 10.14.4 keyboard is french -> french

This key seems to be bonded in any app on my macOS. Could you try to use Karabiner or similar software to check where does it go?

[R0GG]

Not sure what you want me to check. Btw you need to test this using macvim's GUI because shortcuts using cmd+key do not work using vim inside a terminal. And if you do like in insert mode: ctrl+v then cmd+é (which map to cmd+2 for qwerty keyboards) it prints <D-é>

I bet there's some "odd" default mapping for this key specifically or key processing inside macOS/MacVim/Vim

My observations:

• mvim -u NONE -U NONE has the same issue
• Command-2 is not in a game, I've tried to bind to it separately and it works fine
• Only Normal mode is affected, Insert mode allows remapping this key, Visual mode hasn't been tested
• Normally, if key is unbounded, I hear no sound in MacVim, with this key I hear an "error" sound.
• This is is happening even I disable macmenu bindings and most keybindings I found
• Finder throws similar sound effect

@R0GG I asked you to test by Karabiner to find out if this is not macOS-specific thing for NSTextView/NSTextField @ychin may be you have any ideas on this?

It seems to be a "dead key" problem.

I had difficulty with mapping the "˜" symbol (n key) and solved it with custom layout with dead keys removed as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/455854/4177749
