Yes, that is fine. I wish to use it as replacement editor on some
systems just like I use zile, but zile does not allow me other
character sets.

Should I set locale? Now I tried with Eastern European keyboard and it
does not recognize my keys, and it gives message.

I did not mean that you remove the word, it was part of discussion
with purpose to understand it. Not my conclusion. I cannot make any
conclusions if I cannot get it to run yet.

Is there way to use Emacs keybindings?

I am also looking for macros.

For now, I wish to enable ISO-8859-2 to work and I do not know how.

My setup:

$ export LC_ALL=hr_HR.ISO-8859-2
$ setxkbmap hr
$ moe
$ I enter I think č or ć and I get: Key code 141(0x8D) ignored

Do you know how to use that character set. Other character set I would
use is ISO-8859-5 and ISO-8859-1 with German umlauts, but that one is
maybe supported by ISO-8859-15 as well.

If the editor does support all ISO- character sets then maybe you
should say so in description, as from description I have assumed it
supports only ISO-8859-15. Then I was thinking 15 would encompass
ISO-8859-2 and ISO-8859-1 and maybe few others, but it is not so.
