[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] imaps.vim - error when defining shortcut with first character being multibyte

[Michael H. <vim...@so...>]

Hi,



imaps in LookupCharacter(char) tries to delete the entered chars of the 
shortcut, omitting the first one:



\" enough back-spaces to erase the left-hand 
side;

\" -1 for the last character typed:

let bs = substitute(strpart(lhs, 1), 
\".\", \"\\<bs>\", \"g\")



This fails if the first character is a multibyte 
character. The strpart, instead of skipping the whole first character, will only 
skip the first byte, thus erasing one character to much. A solution for this would be 




let bs = substitute(substitute(lhs, \'^.\', \'\', \'\'), \".\", \"\\<bs>\", 
\"g\")



The substitute takes care of multibyte characters.



Bye
