There is an ascii table in the vim-help files, but it's hard to find. Thus, I shall give a pointer to it:
:help digraph-table
<< Generating a column of increasing numbers |
Spelling checkers for: Dutch, English, German, Hungarian, and Yiddish >>

The table does not list all ascii characters, for instance [a-z], [A-Z] and [0-9] are missing....

In fact it's not an ASCII table at all.
ASCII is 7-bit, codes 0x00 to 0x7F.
This table lists the C0, C1 and G1 ranges of ISO-8859-1 (ISO-Latin1).
C0 - lower control codes, 0x00 to 0x1F (and 0x7F, DEL)
C1 - higher control codes, 0x80 to 0x9F
G1 - ISO-8859 extension range, 0xA0 to 0xFF
What is referred to as ASCII characters is the G0 range, 0x20 to 0x7E.

| Note that you can get the ascii value (or whatever-value ;-) of the character under cursor with 'ga' (think of it as "Get Ascii" to remember it)

| You can also use the cream-ascii routines (http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=247) to insert a specific ascii code with a dialog.

This table is indeed correct for all ASCII codes and is a very useful tip.

Good find, Adam.
