First you should always use the :noremap version for mapping keys. Just in case any of the keys on the right side have been mapped to a different functionality. Second, use explicit :nmap command. Third, ^w, if written as 2 characters is different from <Ctrl-W>. In mappings you can always use <C-W> if you need Ctrl-W (provided that your 'cpoptions' does not include the '<' flag (which should be the default). So for your purpose, I would use the following sequence to map: nnoremap <f8> yiw<C-W><C-W>@0G (which copies the word under the cursor (into register 0 implicitly), moves to the other window and uses register 0 as a count to the G command. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
