Hi,
Many years ago, when I was the maintainer of the Win32 ports of
Vim, I made Vim accept Ctrl-6 as a synonym for Ctrl-^ (Ctrl+Shift+6
on US keyboards). This behavior must have been propagated into the
gtk version of gvim at some point. Now it's deep in my muscle
memory and I get frustrated at having to type ":b #" or ":e #"
instead.
the attached patch converts Ctrl-6 to Ctrl-HAT and Ctrl-2 to Ctrl-AT
(this is done in most other guis as well). With it, Ctrl-V Ctrl-6 at
least outputs ^^, which seems sensible. Can you try if this patch
does what you want?
Bye,
Nico
ps: The list probably strips the patch (why oh why does it always do
this?), so I've also uploaded it to
http://wiki.macvim.org/wiki/
VimPatches/Ctrl6 if someone else wants to test it.
