entering X BS Y combines X and Y to a single, special character. eg a BS " gives you an ä . feature!

Thank's for the reply. Sometimes it works as you described, but I don't find it very comfortably or usefull.
I personally like being able to type characters not being available on the keyboard. :) If you do not want to use digraphs just deactivated them.
Is it corect that it doesn't work with every character, often it only prints out two blanks.
a BS " doesn't work
It's *not*
a BS "
but
a BS :
which gives you an 'ä'.
X BS Y doesn't work
Sven meant "X" and "Y" as placeholders.
a BS a results in å o BS / results in ø
Just type ':digraphs' to see the digraph mapping in vim. And read ':he digraphs' for more details.
