characterize.vim

In Vim, pressing ga on a character reveals its representation in decimal, octal, and hex. Characterize.vim modernizes this with the following additions:

• Unicode character names: U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SYMBOL
• Vim digraphs (type after <C-K> to insert the character): Co, cO
• Emoji codes: :copyright:
• HTML entities: ©

Installation

Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package support:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/characterize
vim -u NONE -c "helptags characterize/doc" -c q
