Doesn't work with UTF-8 correctly?

[Janiczek]

I've got a buffer with UTF-8 characters (acutes, carons, ...) and I'm trying to send it to tmux session. I've connected successfully, but when I send it, Python interpreter screams. When I write it directly into the interpreter, it behaves OK, but when I send it from Vim, it (the interpreter) gives an error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: invalid continuation byte

What to do?

Here's my buffer in Vim: (note the á,í,ý,č,ů etc. characters)

class Tovarna:
  # Továrna.
  # Zde definujeme, kolik má fréz, rýsovačů, zámečníků, atd. - tedy "threads".
  pass

class Zakazka:
  # Nová zakázka.
  # Je třeba po vytvoření ještě předat továrně skrze TODO.
  # Zde definujeme časové deadlines a z jakých sestav se skládá.
  pass

class Sestava:
  # Sestava.
  # Zde definujeme, kolikrát je sestava třeba vyrobit a z čeho se skládá.
  # Může obsahovat sestavu nebo položku.
  pass

class Polozka:
  # Položka - nejnižší prvek, "součástka". Dále už se nenoří.
  pass

I've tried to configure myself UTF-8 all the way: terminal, file formats, and Vim.

That being said… I've just tried to send Japanese characters from Vim to tmux and … yeah, it doesn't work.

There are many moving pieces at play: vimscript, shelling out, tmux. Let me investigate this.

Let me know if I can help somehow.

Environment:

• Mac OS X 10.7
• iTerm 2 1.0.0.20120203
• Vim 7.3.410
• tmux 1.6
• vim-slime - HEAD of this repo

Ah, the tmux code uses "send-keys" in a way it wasn't intended…

I tried the screen code and it's working fine. But it does have a different purpose, to send a "string". Meanwhile, "send-keys" was meant to send control keys to tmux.

I found a workaround with "set-buffer" and "paste-buffer".

I'll work on it overnight unless you want to test it and send me a pull-request.

This one is working for me.

Can you confirm?

Works beautifully. Thanks!
