Uh, actually...
The one thing I can't get vim to do which I would really like is for the insert mode to quit when I use an arrow key. I've got an environment variable (EXINIT) which contains a load of key mappings which work a treat with older versions of vi, but vim seems to ignore the 'escape' code in it. This is what it looks like:
Can anyone give me a way of making vim behave in the same way?
Re:Uh, actually...
That is precisely what the .vimrc, as mentioned above, is for. Just include your map commands in the vimrc, though your syntax will be a bit different than for your environment variable. I am pasting several of my mappings (just as they appear in my vimrc) below. It should be noted that <ESC> is actually what you type (literally) where you want an escape character. Same thing with <CR> for a carriage return. The syntax of <C-x>, where x may be replace with any letter, is what should be entered in order to obtain a control-ed character. There are similar <somethings> for the arrow keys and such. |
