Hello.
Vile in normal mode interprets keypresses made in non-us layout (e.g.
utf-8 cyrillic) as a sequence of us (latin) keypresses and does random
actions or sets 'arg: ' to some huge values. This behaviour makes
confusion when editing. I think that vile should ignore such keypresses.
vile should...
This sounds like a special case which I thought I'd fixed: if your machine
doesn't have the corresponding ru_RU locale data installed, then vile may
have incomplete information on the locale.
Is that the case?
Machine have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale. At least it is generated by glibc's
(v2.12.1) 'localedef' and it is shown in 'locale -a' output list. And I
didn't have any locale issues before except for vile behaviour.
From the reference to glibc, I assume we're talking about Linux.
Yes. It is Arch linux to be specific. Sorry, forgot to mention OS in
first message.
I meant something like this (from my machine's "locale -a"):
ru_RU
ru_RU.iso88595
ru_RU.koi8r
ru_RU.utf8
Some distributions such as Ubuntu don't deliver 8-bit locales, which I've
used to construct a lookup table relating those with UTF-8 encoding, which
is used in various ways.
Output of locale -a:
C
en_GB.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
From this, I'm assuming that the problem is as I stated above. In 9.8c,
I added a built-in table which supplies the "ru_RU" part as a "builtin"
locale using ISO-8859-5 encoding. vile uses that for cases when
the file-encoding is "8bit", as well as to simplify editing UTF-8 files
in 8-bit locales.
The help-file summarizes this (noting that "locale" is the default,
which means that vile should assume that your files are in UTF-8
encoding, based on the "ru_RU.utf8", and the nl_langinfo function):
file-encoding (fk)
This is the character encoding of the buffer contents, which is
not necessarily the same as the display's character encoding. It
must be one of the following values:
"8bit"
"ascii"
"auto"
"locale" (default)
"utf-16"
"utf-32"
"utf-8"
The "auto" setting tells vile to determine the encoding by
inspecting the buffer contents. The "locale" setting tells vile to
assume that the buffer contents are in the current locale's
encoding. The "8bit" setting corresponds to the 8-bit locale
support used since 9.3i (20021223). (B)
Yes, I've scanned whole help just in case I missed something, didn't
find anything what would help though. The "file-encoding" value is
always "locale", at least I don't set it anywhere and ":set" shows it as
"locale". And I can edit UTF-8 encoded files without problems on
ru_RU.utf8 locale. When I run vile in C, POSIX, or en_GB locales I see
unicode symbols as \xZZ\xZZ…, but input from cyrillic keyboard layout
behaves nicely that means it does not trigger any commands in normal
mode. It breaks only in any unicode locale (I tried ru_RU.utf8 and
en_GB.utf8).
