There's no underlying function (like I > understand Emacs has) accessible to which keys can be rebound. Thanks for the explanation. It's not about remapping. I'm writing a vimscript in lua. In a function I need the position of the opening and closing bracket. So in vim I would execute »%« twice. Than I have both positions. If there would be functions for the basic comands I just would execute the corresponding function. But apparently this is not the case. So I rephrase my question. How to access basic vim commands (here: %) from inside lua? How to access an arbitrary vim function from inside lua? vim 7.3 compiled with lua interpreter Regards Marco -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
