Thanks Ben for your reply. I indeed do a set nocp immediately after starting Vim. I tried doing vim -u NONE and then both mappings work fine (i don't know if this is because I updated vim to 7.4 patch 92 recently or what but now they seem to work) However if I do gvim -u NONE (and set nocp) then the star (*) mapping doesn't work whereas the hash (#) mapping does work. I use gVim rather than console vim so I would really like this mapping to work under GUI vim. Once again thanks for your help. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
