Hi Milan,
On the one hand I fully agree that this entry is too detailed; I wrote it as my
personal notes in case I would encounter this problem again in the far future,
and I wanted to have all the options at hand.
Your suggested entry perfectly captures the essence of the problem and a
possible solution. I am not sure whether an added function is always the best
way to solve the problem, though. It really depends on the kind of mappings that
one wants to combine.
I guess I'll leave it to Christian, the FAQ maintainer, to decide whether he
wants to keep the full details or replace it with your shorter suggestion and
the link to this archived entry on vim_dev.
