i am experiencing something new: mc, text mode, vi + latex; i start mc in text mode, i mount texlive and would like to use it with vi in order to write in french, german and english. but it seems that vi does not write accents and other similar signs (instead of that, it writes dots). changing the locales give expected results with nano on tty, but not with vi. any ideas? i'd like to use vi since i don't need to load my extension, and keep the system at 7,2 mb ram usage while wildly writing.
