I use Ctrl-Q for switching. It clashes with terminal flow control (Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S), but I disable that anyway whereever I use screen. It has the advantage of being just an alias for Ctrl-V in both readline and vim. Besides, in some terminal apps (e.g. rtorrent), ctrl-Q is the quit mapping and having to escape it through screen prevents me from accidently quitting on a regular basis. The only time I use Ctrl-Q in vim is when I want to close the last window with ^W^Q. Again, I think the need to escape it is a feature. Finally, it can be used painlessly used with one hand, even better than Ctrl-A in my opinion. - kba --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
