Dear all,

I hope all is well with you. I need help please. I think, I have a relatively easy problem. In the past, when I used ‘Qwerty’ as my default keyboard layout I was able to switch to typing Russian with the ‘Ctrl+^’. To achieve that I have the following settings in my ‘.vimrc’ configuration file:

set keymap=russian-jcukenmac
set iminsert=0
set imsearch=0
highlight lCursor guifg=NONE guibg=Cyan

Recently, I learnt Dvorak layout and try to use it everywhere including Vim. However, now when I try to use my configuration in .vimrc to type Russian the Russian characters are all scrambled. They are not in their usual positions. I suspect the Russian character map is also trying to imitate a Russian version of Dvorak. I would like to return to the standard Russian layout with the default keyboard layout in English being Dvorak. Would you please help me to achieve that? I believe this has something to do with the ‘keymap’ setting. But I don’t know for sure. Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!


Best wishes,
Maxim

Dear all,

I hope all is well with you. I managed to solve my problem with a little bit of reading of the Vim help on the subjects of ‘keymap’ and ‘mbyte-keymap’. I looked at the available keymaps with ‘:echo globpath(&rtp, “keymap *.vim”)’ and discovered a keymap called ‘russian-dvorak’. This is what I set now with the ‘set keymap’ command in my ‘.vimrc’ file. It works like a charm! Thank you and have a great day ahead!


Best wishes,
Maxim
