I see the general problem of the positioning: when vile reads the UTF-8 characters that correspond to the Latin-1 range, it has to decide if they can be represented as single-column characters. That's working fine on _display_, but there's a bug in the keyboard part of it, so it's moving the cursor as if it is really a multibyte character (will fix...).


I have tried the same in an xterm with the same results.

What do I need to do to get vile to handle utf-8 comfortably?

By the way xvile seems to act about the same.

It's using most of the same logic.
