Re: Mapping to the "numerical" - and + and *
Thanks all. I got it working what I wanted by copying the mswin.vim file and stripping it to what I wanted. When you don't understand vim-scripting as I do then good copying is beter then bad designing .

Cutting and copying are compound operations in the sense that you need to specify /what/ they are going to act on. There are many ways to do this, depending on the mode you are in. > I now got > :vnoremap "+p > :vnoremap "+d > :vnoremap "+y This looks fine.

So of course you get "+d in your text. This is exactly what you told vim to do. What do you *mean* when you are in insert mode and want to "cut" or "copy"? "Copy" what? One possibility is to revert to normal mode and follow the command with a motion: :inoremap "+d :inoremap "+p > :inoremap "+p This is meaningful but the syntax is incorrect. Tony gave you the answer for this one. > I tried the help CTRL-R but I don't follow that. It would help if were more explicit about the parts you don't understand. In normal mode, pressing "+p means: 'put the content of register + after the cursor'. In insert mode, pressing "+p means: 'insert " then + then p'. It has nothing whatsoever to do with registers. This is where CTRL-R helps you. + is the insert-mode equivalent of "+p in normal-mode. -- JR
Re: Mapping to the "numerical" - and + and *
How were you planning to use those? -- JR I want to use these as cut, paste and copy iso CTRL-X, V and C. I assume that the keypad keys by linux-windows managers are not used. and therefor it's easier to move between the windows and linux . [...] Trying to extend the hints that Tony send :vnoremap "+d :noremap "+p :inoremap + :vnoremap "+y [...] I now got :vnoremap "+p :vnoremap "+d :vnoremap "+y :noremap "+p :noremap "+d :noremap "+y :inoremap "+d :inoremap "+p :inoremap "+y But that is not working, especially not in insert-mode where I get "+d as text in my code when I press the kMinus. I tried the help CTRL-R but I don't follow that. What is wrong with these mappings? Rgds, Eric _ Win a Zunemake MSN® your homepage for your chance to win! http://homepage.msn.com/zune?icid=hmetagline

Have look at :h keypad-plus etc. But I don't know wether it works everywhere. Try a :helpgrep keypad to get all information.. Marc

You can refer to those keys in vim with the following (from :h key-notation, near the end of the table): notationmeaning equivalent decimal value(s)~ --- [...] keypad +*keypad-plus* keypad -*keypad-minus* keypad **keypad-multiply* > to functioan as cut, paste and copy? In vim, "delete" always saves the deleted data somewhere. So in that sense, it's equivalent to "cut", as long as you know where vim put the stuff. The other operations are referred to in vim's documentation as "put", and "yank". These operations usually require more than one keystroke. How were you planning to use those? -- JR

If so, how do you this? Rgds, Eric See ":help keypad-home" and what comes after. :vnoremap "+d :noremap "+p :inoremap + :vnoremap "+y The above works for + (delete/cut) and * (yank/copy) in Visual mode, for - (put/paste) in Normal and Insert mode -- if I didn't goof. All of them use the clipboard, which is useful to copy between Vim and a different app, not so useful to copy within a single instance of Vim (where you may prefer to use just d, p and y in Normal or Visual mode). Best regards, Tony. -- Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.
