Insert macro with { don't work

[yannick818]

I would like to write a macro with inserting { in it.
Example record macro to a:
qa i { ESC q

If I run this macro I got the following output:
<A-C-{>

Is there something wrong with any key settings?

Hello,

Is it possible that you are using a non-US keyboard layout where you need to press AltGr + some other key to type a curly bracket?
The reason I'm asking is that AltGr gets detected as Ctrl+Alt by Eclipse, and it seems Vrapper doesn't know to discard these extra modifiers when a succesful keypress happened. I'm not sure if this can get a permanent fix without breaking other stuff...

As a workaround you could paste a macro into a file and edit, then yank it again. After all, macros are just a bunch of Vrapper instractions held in a register.

Alternatively, if you have simple macros then you could also define them on the commandline:

let @a=i { <ESC>

(The <ESC> is literally typed like that, and after you typed all that you should obviously press Enter to execute the command)

You're absolutely right. I'm using a non-US keyboard with AltGr.
I think Eclipse detects this quite right, since: AltGr is the same like Ctrl + Alt. In combination with 7, they both print {
With both variants I get the same output.
