Right, the "with a count" paragraph doesn't apply to imap, since in
Insert mode digits are inserted as part of the text -- you can't use a
count with an Insert-mode command.
I use the mappings like this in my vimrc, the idea is that F11 followed
or preceded by Shift-F11 goes to the neighbouring window and back
"without changing modes".
Alternately, replace map by nmap or even nnoremap, and remove the imap
lines.
Best regards,
Tony.
