In fact, entering exactly that command into my gvim allows me to press ALT+t to open a new vertical split window, just as intended. What happens if you open gvim with gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE and then execute your map command? Does it work then? > But using unicode? You should need absolutely zero knowledge of how Vim internally represents an ALT+t keystroke, nor how the keyboard sends it, in order to map it in gvim. You can try using <Esc> as Chris suggests, but this should only work in some terminals, and it's a hack, not the "correct" solution. It WON'T work in gvim. I don't use the terminal enough to know off-hand what that "correct" solution is, but I'd get it working in gvim first and then figure out why it's not working in your terminal. See :help :map-alt-keys, which says (among many other things) that using the Alt keys in gvim "should always work". -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
