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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Extend detection of TERM=linux to include TERM=linux-16color and similar (thanks to Andy Weidenbaum).

- 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.

Clarify documentation about the need to configure Konsole. This is a documentation-only change.

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 |

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>.

Support TERM=tmux. Starting with version 2.1, tmux allows TERM to be "tmux" instead of just "screen". |
