vim-accent

A Vim plugin for typing accented characters without having to remember the handful of pseudo versions. It's an alternative to digraphs and the accents keymap.

How would you type ä in insert mode? How would you replace a with ä in normal mode?

With this plugin

In insert mode: type a and hit <CTRL-X><CTRL-U> to bring up a list of accented as to choose from.

In normal mode with the cursor on a: use gx to cycle through the alternatives.

It's always the same process, no matter what accent you want.

Digraphs

In insert mode: type <CTRL-K>a:.

In normal mode with the cursor on a: type r<CTRL-K>a:.

See :help digraphs.

Accents keymap

Type :set keymap=accents. This could be in your vimrc.

In insert mode: type :a.

In normal mode with the cursor on a: type r:a.

See :help mbyte-keymap and $VIMRUNTIME/keymap/accents.vim. You can toggle the keymap on and off with <CTRL-^> in insert mode or command mode.

Limitations

The plugin uses a custom completion function for its list of accents, but Vim only allows one type of custom completion at a time. A workaround is to use a wrapper function, as described at the end of this article.

The plugin could allow you to opt in or out of accents by language...but it doesn't yet.
