I have noticed that vip and vm don't always get along together very well. For example: (*) Minor bug: when reading mail, ctl-z can still toggle between vm's keymap and vip's keymap. However, even in vip mode, the first portion of the modeline still reads "-----VM 5.33 (beta):" rather than "-----Vi:". (I also noticed this bug with the version of vip which is in the standard emacs distribution.) (*) More serious bug: when trying to reply to a message using "R" (vm-reply-include-text), the command bombs after setting up the reply buffer but before including the text. The error message in the minibuffer is: "Key sequence ^C^Y uses invalid prefix characters". This error message also occurs in response to the "r" command (vm-reply). Not surprisingly, the keymap definition commands using a ctl-c prefix in the vm-reply functions bomb when vip has already defined ctl-c to do other things... Here is the .emacs file used: (setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "~/elisp/")) load-path)) (setq term-setup-hook '(lambda () (vip-mode))) (load "vm") Any ideas on how to fix? Since this new version of vip is supposed to be the one which will be used with emacs v19, I hope that vm can somehow be persuaded to live together with it peacefully. Any and all information appreciated. Thanks, - John :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. John S.
