vim 7.1.115: vim should be built with +multibyte by default

[jpo@…]

Hi,

Would it be possible to build vim with multibyte support by default?

As it stands (-multibyte) is impossible to use it to edit documents with UTF8 characters (e.g. ç, ã, ...) as it places a whitespace after each of the mentioned characters.

Another option that is also disabled in port edition is cscope (I appended of this message the options that apple uses to build vi - /usr/bin/vi). To duplicate it I have to build the port version of vim as

sudo port install vim +cscope +multibyte

Thanks in advance, jpo

Note:

/usr/bin/vi (vi options as shipped with MacOS 10.4.x)

I forgot to:

1) add BUG: to the ticket summary

2) addign the ticket to one of the vim packagers:

pipping@… or raimue@…

Note: I don't seem to be able to change the ticket information.

I'd even say multibyte and nls should not be variants, for consistency with the current unwritten policy.

[raimue@…]

Made +multibyte the default in r29714.
