the original vi on Sun took :su as :suspend,

whereas vim takes :su as :substitute.

what does ":su" do? it's the same as pressing CTRL-z or typing ":sh"?

Matteo: see :help :suspend

Paul: Either use Salman's cabbrev trick (more later) or use :st instead (for :stop which in Vim is a synonym for :suspend).

A more involved cabbrev trick for your vimrc:

if version < 700
        cnoreabbrev su suspend
else
        cnoreabbrev <expr> su
        \ ((getcmdtype() == ':' && getcmdpos() <= 3)? 'suspend' : 'su')
endif


The above assumes 'nocompatible' (otherwise, you can still use it, but the long cnoreabbrev <expr> line must be typed all on one line with no line continuation) and determines at run-time whether the "finer" version of the mapping (with getcmdtype() and getcmdpos()) can be used or not.

I intentionally use "version" rather than "v:version" because it is more backward-compatible.


Best regards,
Tony.
