Is there a vim adaptation (plugin) for the Spanish keyboard?

There is one for the Russian language, for instance. Of course, Russian is much more troublesome, because you have to remap virtually every key; Spanish is almost QWERTY, but not really. Periphery is quite different.

I made some research; nada. Perhaps, I just missed something.

  • Since there probably aren't many differences versus en_us keyboard it would be pretty easy to create your own "keymap". Look in the keymap directory in your Vim installation dir. It has a number of languages. Pick a straightforward one (Croatian perhaps) and follow its lead (copy all "croation" files and modify for Spanish...see :h keymap-file-format). Then you'll be able to switch to/back using the keymap command.

  • Alternatively, you could go with a custom solution based on key mappings (i.e. :map et al). E.g. Useful mapping to write some Spanish words in Vim

  • So similar that it does not merit a keymap... I see. But what am I supposed to with colon commands? The colon is in use for things like ö.

  • Errr...langmap then (basically, reverts to native keys when in Normal mode)? I'm starting to wonder if I actually understand what you want to do. Does any of this help? vi.stackexchange.com/questions/4758/… . If not please provide more details about your requirements.

The way to do make vim use a different keyboard layout is by setting the option keymap in your vimrc file.

For more info checkout :h keymap inside vim.
