I’m a rookie VIM user. My problem is that VIM doesn’t let me type the character “á” even though there’s no problem with other characters specific to Magyar (Hungarian), like “ő” and “í”. I have UTF-8 encoding and Dejavu Sans Mono font set and am using Windows 7. I already tried doing :unmap á but it only resulted in a “No such mapping” message. Thanks for any tips!

Update: Executing :set keymap=magyar_utf-8 didn’t make a difference. I have the mapping file named magyar_utf-8.vim in $VIMRUNTIME/keymap and the version I’m using is 7.3.
Furthermore “á” makes the cursor jump to the end of line in INSERT mode. Uppercase “Á” works as expected.

    Finally I’ve found the solution. So for everyone who happen to use gVIM on a Hungarian system with the auto-pairs plugin, comment out line 196 in auto-pairs.vim so you can type the letter á as you would expect.

    I have auto-pairs plugin version 1.1.1 and in my file the line to be changed reads:

    execute 'inoremap <buffer> <silent> <M-a> <END>
