Hi, VimTip 979 suggests to do the following mapping:
nmap <Space> / nmap <C-Space> ? . I wanted to try that and wrote the sequence into my .vimrc. The first mapping works nice, but the second doesn nothing. I tried to figure out what happens (or what do not happen...) and used the Ctrl-k trick I learnd here. But it shows that the problem is some levels down. I used xkeycaps and it shows, that Ctrl-Space isn't recognized at all and Shift-Space does the same as Space. Before I shoot into my own feet and render my computer useless by screwing up the keyboard interface: 1.) Is it possible and sane to map S-Space and C-Space to something (and what ?) with xkeycaps ? 2.) Or is it a more general problem, that those combination of keys aren't recognized correctly ? Thank you very much in advance for any help in advance ! mcc
