Yeah, that's what I meant, that loadkeymap doesn't allow remapping. And ":lamp" shows the start to indicate that's what happens. It has always been that way. When changing this the users who want remapping to work (the ones involved in this discussion) will be happy, and another set of users (who are not yeet involved, since they are currently happy) will have a problem, since the meaning of their mappings change. That is, they only want them to apply for the actually typed key, not what a keymap results in. I don't know how many users are in one group or the other, but I definitely don't want to make an incompatible change so short before a release. How about this: If you want the langmaps to be remappable, then after setting the keymap option, you manually use an :lmap for those characters you want to be remappable. Can't be that many. What I previously said abuot a recursive mapping was wrong, lmap's only appy to typed characters, thus that can't happen within lmap's themselves. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 42.
