| 14 | +1. Introduction |
| 15 | + *vietnamese-intro* |
| 16 | +Vim supports Vietnamese language in the following ways: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- Built-in |vietnamese-keymap|, which allows you to type Vietnamese characters |
| 19 | + in |Insert-mode| and |search-commands| using US keyboard layout. |
| 20 | +- Localization in Vietnamese. See |vietnamese-l10n| |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +=============================================================================== |
| 23 | +2. Vietnamese keymaps |
| 24 | + *vietnamese-keymap* |
| 25 | +To switch between languages you can use your system native keyboard switcher, |
| 26 | +or use one of the Vietnamese keymaps included in the Vim distribution, like |
| 27 | +below > |
| 28 | + :set keymap=vietnamese-telex_utf-8 |
| 29 | +< |
| 30 | +See |'keymap'| for more information. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +In the latter case, you can type Vietnamese even if you do not have a |
| 33 | +Vietnamese input method engine (IME) or you want Vim to be independent from a |
| 34 | +system-wide keyboard settings (when |'imdisable'| is set). You can also |:map| |
| 35 | +a key to switch between keyboards. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Vim comes with the following Vietnamese keymaps: |
| 38 | +- *vietnamese-telex_utf-8* Telex input method, |UTF-8| encoding. |
| 39 | +- *vietnamese-viqr_utf-8* VIQR input method, |UTF-8| encoding. |
| 40 | +- *vietnamese-vni_utf-8* VNI input method, |UTF-8| encoding. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + *vietnamese-ime_diff* |
| 43 | +Since these keymaps were designed to be minimalistic, they do not support all |
| 44 | +features of the corresponding input methods. The differences are described |
| 45 | +below: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- You can only type each character individually, entering the base letter first |
| 48 | + and then the diacritics later. For example, to type the word `nến` using |
| 49 | + |vietnamese-vni_utf-8|, you must type `ne61n`, not `nen61` or `ne6n1` |
| 50 | +- For characters with more than 1 diacritic, you need to type vowel mark before |
| 51 | + tone mark. For example, to type `ồ` using |vietnamese-telex_utf-8|, you need |
| 52 | + to type `oof`, not `ofo`. |
| 53 | +- With |vietnamese-telex_utf-8|, you need to type all uppercase letters to |
| 54 | + produce uppercase characters with diacritics. For example, `Ừ` must be typed |
| 55 | + as `UWF`. |
| 56 | +- With |vietnamese-telex_utf-8|, the escape character `\` from VNI is added, |
| 57 | + hence the confusing `ooo` input to type `oo` is removed, which could lead to |
| 58 | + ambiguities. For example, to type the word `Đoòng`, you would type |
| 59 | + `DDo\ofng`. |
| 60 | +- Simple Telex (both v1 and v2), including the `w[]{}` style, is not |
| 61 | + supported. |
| 62 | +- Removing diacritics using `z` in Telex or `0` in VNI and VIQR is not supported. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +=============================================================================== |
| 65 | +3. Localization |
| 66 | + *vietnamese-l10n* |
| 67 | +Vim |messages| are also available in Vietnamese. If you wish to see messages |
| 68 | +in Vietnamese, you can run the command |:language| with an argument being the |
| 69 | +name of the Vietnamese locale. For example, > |
| 70 | + :language vi_VN |
| 71 | +< or > |
| 72 | + :language vi_VN.utf-8 |
| 73 | +< |
| 74 | +Note that the name of the Vietnamese locale may vary depending on your system. |
| 75 | +See |mbyte-first| for details. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +|vimtutor| is also available in Vietnamese. To start Vimtutor in Vietnamese, |
| 78 | +run the following command in terminal: > |
| 79 | + vimtutor vi |
| 80 | +< |
