- Hi,
-
- Under what circumstance do i get the " too dangerous to map that" message?
-
- There were a few times vi refused to map something.
- e.g. perform search for fixed patten
- :map xx /pattern
-
- Does this mean, that i probably will run into conflict with 'internal' vi mappings?
-
- Is there a way to do the mapping anyway.
- e.g: space bar mapping (well, bad example, since it is not too dangerous to map ;) )
-
- map ^V something
-
- an then redefine the mappings for 's' and '~', which use the spacebar-mapping,
- accordingly with the 'l' as substitute.
-
-
- Another question:
-
- -) is there a way to use the 'unmapped' meaning of mapped symbols?
- suppose you map! the ESC-key to somthing (a stupid thing, i know ;) ), which
- leaves you with (almost) no possibility to return from any insert/appand/open mode;
- the only thing a can imagine, is to map! an other key to ESC ( with noremap set,
- otherwise: no chance).
-
- -) how can i unmap ALL my map and/or map! mappings at once?
- Do i really have to write an according unmap file wich successivly unmaps
- all my .exrc-mappings, and map \um to :so ~/.unmap ?
-
-
- Thanx for your time
-
- Stefan.
