Jump to tag command doesn't work in gvim under Windows 7

[Väinö Leppänen]

The mouse version of this command actually work (g<LeftMouse> and <C-LeftMouse>), but the keyboard version CTRL-] doesn't for some reason.

Any ideas?

on Windows the behaviour of Ctrl plus a non-letter is independent of the
actual keyboard layout (at least inside Vim). As far as I know for those
combinations to work you have to press Ctrl and the same key that would
generate the non-letter if you had installed the US-American keyboard
driver. For "[" and "]" this would be the keys between "P" and the
Return key.

Jürgen

And that solved the problem.
Thanks!

Huh? I've got my keyboard (a standard QWERTY keyboard) mapped to US-Dvorak in Windows XP, and to get CTRL-] I press CTRL and the key labelled =/+, not the key labelled ]/}.

Isn't that what Jürgen said? On a German keyboard (at least for Windows)
you need to press Ctrl-ü rather then the key labeld ] to produce an
actual keycode of <C-]>.

On linux on the other side, I need to press the key labeld ].

We may be talking about different ways of getting a non-standard keyboard.

I think I understand now, that you and Jürgen are talking about a keyboard whose keys are physically labelled different than a standard US QWERTY keyboard, and pressing CTRL+] on that keyboard does not send Vim a CTRL+] keystroke.

I am saying that I have a physical US QWERTY keyboard, and I've applied a US Dvorak keyboard layout, by going into Control Panel→Regional and Language Options→Languages→Details...

On my physical QWERTY keyboard mapped to Dvorak, I press CTRL and the key which in Dvorak yields a ], and Vim gets CTRL+] as I expect.

I think you're saying if I had a physical Dvorak keyboard with no software mapping, pressing CTRL and the key which yields a ], will NOT send Vim a CTRL+], but something else.
