My problems are keycombinations like ALT-. Either I start mrxvt as mrxvt and all ALT- are mappes to -. When using keymappings in vim, which map a keytrstroke to nearly anthing you want, all mappings using M- are ignored therefore. vim expsects ALT-s to be in the range of 225-250 and not keycombos made from -. This is also Bram Molenaars, the author of vim, opinion of how it should be. Or I start mrxvt as 'mrxvt -m8' instructing mrxvt to generate single byte keyvalue for the meta-keys as exspected by vim. Then keymappings in vim of the kind described above do work...but I will loose (for example) the very handy feature of zsh: pressing ALT-. to get the last argument of the previous command. Zsh exspects - sequences for the Meta-keys. Is there any way out of this disaster ? Kind regards, mcc
