patch 8.2.0867: using {xxx} for encoding a modifier is not nice Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/fccd93f0917234b962ce07d1df3adf9d7105936f Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sun May 31 22:06:51 2020 +0200 patch 8.2.0867: using \{xxx} for encoding a modifier is not nice Problem: Using \{xxx} for encoding a modifier is not nice.
