make an almost null .vimrc, which you seem to have done, then gradually add stuff from your real .vimrc back to the one you are using, testing each time, til you see the weird behavior space could be mapped other places, and my first reaction was to say woah, you should be using nnoremap, but i don't presume to know what is going on with this test with incrementally more relevant .vimrcs, is the best i can recommend sc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
