This is not simply historical artifact. You can't. Does that matter? Some people write a :map from F12, but some terminals lack an F12 key. Vim has no problem storing maps from keys it knows the terminal cannot possibly generate. If users are mapping from keys their terminal cannot type that is their problem. > I do not get though why <C-B> and <C-S-B> should ever have the same > meaning though, and it is what is meant by “100% backwards > compatibility”. Indeed. I doubt very much anyone has ever tried to map from C-S-B, for example, without being quite aware that it wasn't C-B. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
