Hi Tony and All,
Actually, it turns out the reason it's not working properly is because I
have :set paste turned on by default (which I need, as I'm always
pasting from windows aps into Vim).
And when :set paste is turned on, it literally types out whatever
function key was pressed --- so if I press F11, it types out <F11>
I was looking at the Vim doc, and it seems the only exception to this
Insert (paste) rule is the following:
:set pastetoggle=<F11>
That will turn paste mode off when in Insert (paste) mode.
Is there any work around so that I can always have paste mode on and use
mappings? I'm wondering, is it possible to trigger a function when
pastetoggle is executed?
Or is it possible to customize my paste mode -- i.e. have it work the
way it does, but not have it affect Function keys. I looked at :help
paste but the documentation is sparse, and doesn't elude to this.
Thanks for your help,
Sean

:imap <F11> <C-O>:set invnumber<CR>

Best regards,
