nmap ,bn <ESC>:bn<CR>
...
nnoremap : ;
So first the nmap types <Esc>, but you are already in Normal mode, so Esc usually just beeps, which might abort the mapping; so that's not a good idea. Even if it does get past that, though, it then types : but : has been mapped to ; so instead of doing :bn<CR> it does ;bn<CR> (repeat last f or t search in the same direction, or if there isn't one, probably just beep and abort the mapping; or if it gets past that, then go back a word, repeat the last search, and probably abort if the pattern is not found, and then move down a line). Try :nnoremap in place of :nmap even for the ones which don't swap keys and see how far that gets you. Smiles, Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
