vim encoding change issue

Encoding is always a headache issue.

After change the encoding to utf-8, I can't switch tabbar by alt-k.

There're many docs about vim encoding and alt/meta issue.

I find a solution. mapping it after change encoding:

hook the encoding change by:

:au EncodingChanged * :call <SID>Set_Tab_switch_shortcut()
implementate Set_Tab_switch_shortcut:

function! s:Set_Tab_switch_shortcut()
if mapcheck('^[1') == "" && mapcheck('<M-1>') == ""     "if unique is used by mapping, need these judgements.

...  " copy the mapping from tabbar.vim

endif " %%
endfunction

still have encode issue after change encoding. 

It's the encoding of console and dialog output.

add the following code in Set_Tab_switch_shortcut():

if &encoding == "utf-8"
    language message zh_CN.utf-8
endif

if &encoding == "cp936"
    language message zh_CN
endif
