Ctrl-] is how one is supposed to move around interactively in Vim on "linkable" text, for instance in the help files. On US layouts, this is simply a two finger combo. Unfortunately the "]" character is a bit awkward to type on Norwegian keyboard layouts (AltGr+9), so I was simply wondering what other fellow Vim-users with non-English layouts do to efficiently move about?
In the place where ANSI US has [ and ] Nordic keyboards have å and ¨, of which the latter is really not bindable, since it sends "half a character" and waits for the character to be accented. For example, pressing ¨a outputs ä.
One solution would be to "left-shift" the binding to CTRL-å (the key to the right of P).
I personally switch between US and Finnish/Nordic layouts quite often and write code almost exclusively in US layout.
I use a customized us layout and access ligatures by vim mappings and
OS option key mappings instead of spending a whole key on them.
For instance, I use aeo, which are adjacent on qgmlwb (jkl), to get æ.
noremap! aeo æ
By default you can also use <c-k>ae.
<Ctrl><AltGr>9myself, and find it ok. I guess it's much because I'm so used with it, though.<Ctrl><AltGr><°>) and I think this is also the case of other layouts... I don't really know how to rephrase it but I think the question would be useful to more people if it wasn't only 'norvegian' in the title. Now about the actual question I agree with @KarlYngveLervåg:<Ctrl><AltGr><°>became natural and it isn't a problem anymore.toggleProseDEfunction in my vimrc which does a couple of things (ex: enable spell checking for German). Inside the func, I define stuff likeinoremap aa <C-k>a:which insertsäwhen pressingatwice. I used it not so often so the additional waiting time is not a problem. See the table at the end of :digraphs for a list of chars.
