vim-brace-for-umlauts

This is a very simple VIM plugin to improve the coding experience on German QUERTZ keyboards. It defines the following mappings:

• normal, visual & select mode

  • ü -> [
  • ä -> ]
  • Ü -> {
  • Ä -> }
  • ö -> :

• insert and command mode

  • ü -> [
  • ä -> ]
  • Ü -> {
  • Ä -> }
  • ö -> :
  • Ö -> \

You can use the commands Umlauts, NoUmlauts and UmlautsToggle to activate or deactivate the insert & command mode mappings in case you need to write German prose or search for text containing umlauts.

All mappings are activated on VIM startup.
