description

Fixkey helps Vim use the non-ASCII keys of a terminal emulator, permitting mapping of several classes of characters, including: - Alt-lowercase letters (<M-a> - <M-z>). - Alt-uppercase letters (<M-A> - <M-Z>), except <M-O> due to keycode   ambiguity). - Function keys with no modifiers or combinations of shift, control, and alt:   <F1> - <F12>, <S-F1> - <S-F12>, ..., <M-C-S-F1> - <M-C-S-F12>.   *Note* not all combination of terminal and environment send all of these. - Arrow keys with no modifiers or combinations of shift, control, and alt:   <Up>, <Down>, <Left>, <Right>, <S-Up>, <S-Down>, <S-Left>, <S-Right>, ...,   <M-C-S-Up>, <M-C-S-Down>, <M-C-S-Left>, <M-C-S-Right>. - Home and End keys with no modifiers or combinations of shift, control, and   alt: <Home>, <End>, <S-Home>, <S-End>, ..., <M-C-S-Home>, <M-C-S-End>. - <S-Enter> (few terminals). - <M-Enter> (not all terminals). Now, console Vim users can map keys like Gvim users, e.g.::   " Map Alt-q to re-wrap a paragraph.   :nnoremap <M-q> gqap See documentation in doc/fixkey.txt for installation instructions and terminal setup.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
fixkey-0.3.15.zip	0.3.15	2023-04-29	7.0	Michael Henry	- Fix regression in version 0.3.14 for terminals that lack |TermResponse|.   Now, in addition to |TermResponse|, Fixkey watches for the |VimEnter|   autocmd to ensure Fixkey setup will always be invoked.  Notably tmux, PuTTY,   and Linux console do not trigger |TermResponse| autocmd events.
fixkey-0.3.14.zip	0.3.14	2023-04-01	7.0	Michael Henry	- Add `g:Fixkey_useTimestamps` to produce system calls visible to `strace` for   timing measurements. - Change `g:Fixkey_setupDelay` to be measured from reception of the   |TermResponse| autocmd instead of the start of Fixkey initialization.  This   removes some variability in startup times and makes the choice of delay   value easier.  The default delay is now 400 ms.  The previous default of 10   ms was guesswork based on user feedback showing that delaying even 0 ms was   sufficient; however, measurements provided by `g:Fixkey_useTimestamps` show   that the delays actually provided by Vim's timer mechanism were   substantially longer than what was requested, because timers may be   postponed while Vim is busy with various startup tasks.  Waiting until   |TermResponse| ensures that Vim has actually received the initial terminal   response.  Additional delay is needed to ensure Vim receives and processes   any responses to Vim's subsequent terminal queries.   This additional delay works around problems with newer Vim and   gnome-terminal.  The sequence `ESC P` is found in gnome-terminal's response   to some Vim query.  If Fixkey setup occurs before this response is received,   Vim misinterprets the `ESC P` as a keypress (Alt+P), corrupting the   processing of the response and causing the user's first keypress to be   swallowed.
fixkey-0.3.13.zip	0.3.13	2021-02-19	7.0	Michael Henry	- Add support for Alt-shifted-numbers (<M-)>, <M-!>, ..., <M-(>). - Document that <M-M> doesn't work with PuTTY for some reason. - Avoid overriding a non-empty 'ttymouse' setting for tmux (thanks to Kevin MacMartin). - Allow setting g:Fixkey_termType in vimrc to override Fixkey's terminal detection algorithm.
fixkey-0.3.12.zip	0.3.12	2021-02-19	7.0	Michael Henry	- Extend detection of TERM=linux to include TERM=linux-16color and similar (thanks to Andy Weidenbaum).
fixkey-0.3.11.zip	0.3.11	2019-08-25	7.0	Michael Henry	- Delay Fixkey setup at startup to avoid interfering with Vim's terminal   negotiations.  This works around issues with newer Xterm versions (see   https://github.com/drmikehenry/vim-fixkey/issues/11).  Startup delay is   controlled via |g:Fixkey_setupDelay|. - Silently skip Fixkey setup when running with Neovim.  Fixkey's features   are not required on Neovim, as that editor already supports mapping   Alt-keys natively.  As a convenience to users that share configuration   files between Vim and Neovim, Fixkey skips its initialization when Neovim   is detected.
fixkey-0.3.10.zip	0.3.10	2019-03-23	7.0	Michael Henry	Support Alt-numbers (<M-0> - <M-9>), thanks to Ralf Vogler.
fixkey-0.3.9.zip	0.3.9	2018-07-26	7.0	Michael Henry	Clarify documentation about the need to configure Konsole.  This is a documentation-only change.
fixkey-0.3.8.zip	0.3.8	2016-10-05	7.0	Michael Henry	Work around TERM=tmux issue with mis-detected mouse settings that interfere with proper operation of <Home> and <End> keys.
fixkey-0.3.7.zip	0.3.7	2016-03-13	7.0	Michael Henry	Fixup function keys and navigation keys (home/end/arrows/etc.) for xterm, konsole, and gnome-terminal.  This corrects a problem with stock Fedora Linux vim, because Fedora patches Vim and exchanges the definitions for <F1> through <F4> with <xF1> through <xF4>.
fixkey-0.3.6.zip	0.3.6	2015-10-23	7.0	Michael Henry	Support TERM=tmux.  Starting with version 2.1, tmux allows TERM to be "tmux" instead of just "screen".
fixkey-0.3.5.zip	0.3.5	2014-07-27	7.0	Michael Henry	Add support for \"TERM=screen-it\" and similar (thanks to Kevin MacMartin) (updated for minor typo in documentation).
fixkey-0.3.3.zip	0.3.3	2014-05-17	7.0	Michael Henry	Add support for overlooked PuTTY-SCO keys <F1> to <F12>.
fixkey-0.3.2.zip	0.3.2	2013-10-03	7.0	Michael Henry	Documentation reorganization.
vim-fixkey-0.3.1.zip	0.3.1	2013-09-23	7.0	Michael Henry	Restore cpoptions correctly.
vim-fixkey-0.3.0.zip	0.3.0	2013-08-25	7.0	Michael Henry	Add support for more modifier keys.  Now all combinations of Shift, Control, and Meta work with function keys, arrows, and home/end (on supported terminals).
vim-fixkey-0.2.3.zip	0.2.3	2013-08-20	7.0	Michael Henry	Add support for -bce and -s subvariants of screen (e.g., TERM=screen-256color-bce-s will now work).
vim-fixkey-0.2.2.zip	0.2.2	2013-08-18	7.0	Michael Henry	Add support for <M-Enter>, <S-Enter> for some terminals
vim-fixkey-0.2.1.zip	0.2.1	2013-08-15	7.0	Michael Henry	Initial upload
