Is that right?
Yep. > But in my case? The noremap'ing versions should be what you use by default. In your case, your map will do the wrong thing if a plugin has :nmap'ed <C-w> or j or <C-w>j - all of which would be really odd things for a script to do, but it could happen. By using the noremap'ing version, you know what your map will do - it will switch to the window below the current one. If you don't use the noremap'ing version, your map will do either that, or something different, depending on the presence or absence of other maps. Because of all that, it's advisable to always use the noremap'ing variants by default, and to only use the remap'ing varieties when you explicitly want that extra layer of indirection. ~Matt -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
