Some of the macros I use are: 1. map <F8> :cn<CR> map <F7> :cp<CR> This is for moving to next or previous results in the quickfix window, where I find the Vim built-in commands tedious, and am much more comfortable pressing a single key 2. http://quicktask.aaronbieber.com/ makes a convenient use of macros. 3. I have: map <C-W><C-Right> <C-W><Right> map <C-W><C-Left> <C-W><Left> to fix a constant annoyance. 4. I also have «map <F6> <ESC>:Ack -ai <C-R><C-W> t2 lib<CR> » Regards, Shlomi Fish -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Selina Mandrake - The Slayer (Buffy parody) - http://shlom.in/selina An apple a day will keep Chuck Norris away.
