painless-digraph

Intro

Vim digraphs provide a useful mechanism to enter special characters normally not found on a keyboard. But since the methods to enter digraphs require additional keypresses, it becomes tedious to input sequences or short phrases (e.g. in hiragana, katakana or greek). The painless-digraph plugin relieves you from this pain and provides a digraph-mode which allows you to enter digraphs directly, without additional keypresses.

Installation

You can install this plugin using any vim plugin manager by using the path on GitHub for this repository. For vim-plug just add the following:

Plug 'potamides/painless-digraph'
