Making C-] do something different
In source code, C-] follows a tags file. In :help it follows links (Maybe there's a helptags file?). But I've created a new temp buffer from some vim code and I want C-] to do something different for only this buffer. For instance I have a line that looks like: ... sometext somenumber1 someothertext2 And if the user presses C-] anywhere on the line I would like to take somenumber1 and do something with it (follow it by replacing the current buffer with another file referenced by the number). If the line doesn't start with ... Then ignore the keypress. I think I can handle all that but I want to know if its possible to: either set up a handler for C-] or must I just :map it? If I must :map it, I can :map so it only affects the current buffer? :bmap? Any help would surely help! Chuck

Chuck Yes there is a tags file for help, $VIMRUNTIME/doc/tags (and similarly $VIM/vimfiles/doc/tags and/or [on Windows] $HOME/vimfiles/doc/tags if you have installed nonstandard help files locally). Here is (untested) an example of how to map Ctrl-] for only one particular file: function s:ControlBracketHandler() ... endfunction autocmd BufRead C:/path/to/filename.ext \ map buffer C-] :call SIDControlBracketHandler()CR see :help :map-buffer Best regards, Tony.
