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. Solution: Use \<*xxx> instead, since it's the same as \<xxx> but producing a different code.

" Test :version Ex command

func Test_version()
  " version should always return the same string.
  let v1 = execute('version')
  let v2 = execute('version')
  call assert_equal(v1, v2)

  call assert_match("^\n\nVIM - Vi IMproved .*", v1)
endfunc
