A "phonetic" keymap for Cyrillic, for use under UTF-8 encoding. This is the keymap I use when I type Russian in gvim; it may or may not suit you. For instance, it uses several "dead keys" which might take some getting used to. Or you might want to use it as a starting point, then alter it to suit your tastes. See also, among others     :help 'keymap'     :help keymap-file-format     vimtip #246     vimscript #789 and for a Bulgarian keymap (no ery, no eh-oborotnoye) using a slightly different but similar approach, see vimscript#1109 Version history: 2004-10-17    1.1     Enhancement: combining acute accent added                                   (for explicit stress, e.g. bólshaya "bigger" vs. bolsháya "big") 2004-03-01    1.01    Bugfix: Normal mode version of mapping 2004-02-29    1.0     Initial release

install details

Just drop this file into $VIM/vimfiles/keymap (for system-wide availability) or into ~/.vim/keymap [on Unix] or ~/vimfiles/keymap [on Windows] (for private use by a single user). This keymap changes the cursor color to bright red when it is active; to change that, or disable it, change or comment-out the line (near the top) setting the lCursor highlight. There are three other lines you may want to change: mappings defining the <F8> key to toggle the keymap on or off in all modes including Normal. (My Belgian keyboard doesn't AFAIK include a Ctrl-^ key.) Change the {lhs} to anything that suits you, or comment them away. Happy Vimming! Tony.
