vim, grml 0.9 on hd - strange characters after using backspace
I have a strange problem with vim. When I use backspace to delete some characters while I am in instering mode, there appear blanks or other characters which I definitely not typed.
example:
[a], [backspace], [a] results in the folowing character

Maybe it has something to do with unicode. I use unicode_start in /etc/zsh/zlogin.

Feature. That's digraph mode (':he digraphs'). To disable the feature use 'set nodigraph'.

Thanks, this solved it. I definitely need a vim-workshop to improve my vim-skills.

entering X BS Y combines X and Y to a single, special character. eg a BS " gives you an ä . feature!
see ":help digraphs". use ":set nodigraph" to make it go away.
you can still use CTRL-K in insert mode to combine the following two characters to a single special one, eg CTRL-K o / results in an ø - try it!

Thank's for the reply. Sometimes it works as you described, but I don't find it very comfortably or usefull. Is it corect that it doesn't work with every character, often it only prints out two blanks.
a BS " doesn't work X BS Y doesn't work a BS a results in å o BS / results in ø

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.

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.
