Allow digraphs with i^K

[Soares]

^K is used to enter digraphs (and, thus, unicode or otherwise difficult-to-type characters) in insert mode. When searching, ^K may also be used to search for difficult-to-type characters. It would be really cool if I could sneak for such characters as well.

Seems reasonable. Also are you aware of the keymap support? #47

Explained (briefly) here: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak/blob/master/doc/sneak.txt#L107

I was not, thanks!

I largely use digraphs for things like em-dashes, ellipses, and
logical/mathematical symbols, so I don't think the keymap support helps me
in particular (unless I misunderstand). It's useful to know of, though.

Also, for reference, note that f and t work with ^K

I'd be happy to try writing a patch that implements ^K if you point me
towards the right place in the code, though it will probably be a little
while before I have time.

keymaps wouldn't be helpful in your case. Digraphs are worth implementing, but I can't find a way to assign the result of ctrl-k to a variable. If you can figure that out, I can implement this feature pretty easily.

I have no idea, but I've asked vim_use:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/bgWtZF8I7wI

I expect they will say "not possible" and then I'll start a discussion on
vim_dev and eventually write a patch which will languish for six months,
after which I'll ping this issue and see if you want to add
patch-number-guarded support for this feature, but maybe I'll be pleasantly
surprised :-)

Hahahaha. Thanks for saving me the trouble. Probably the only way is to open some temp buffer and feedkeys("\<C-k>ae") to get the result. Which isn't so bad, but also horrible.

ZyX and John Little gave some great answers! Should have this implemented by next week.
