When using vim I wish to disable the <F1> from popping up the help. I use vim exclusively via shell terminal windows in Linux. I've not yet been successful, though below is what I've attempted so far. Further, I searched this google group for such a thing but didn't come up with any relevant results.
I have found this <seemingly> helpful link: " *https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Disable_F1_built-in_help_key*";, yet none of the facets of its implementation have worked for me. I have experimented with placing: "*:nmap <F1> <nop>*" manually in a vim session---that manual effort seems to correctly provide the result I want (i.e. <F1> does *no operation*) during command-mode. I place the SAME string without the quotes or leading colon in .vimrc, close/open a new vim session, and <F1> immediately brings up the help menu. Other combinations attempted from the same link, "*:nmap <F1> :echo<CR>* " and "*:imap <F1> <C-o>:echo<CR>*" in the .vimrc, but once vim is reloaded,<F1> still brings up the help. Next, grasping at straws---in my .vimrc I have placed: cmap <F1> <nop> imap <F1> <nop> ljjmap <F1> <nop> nmap <F1> <nop> omap <F1> <nop> vmap <F1> <nop> Which hasn't solved the problem, either. I would like to understand this problem I am having, better. Additionally I wish to put in my .vimrc the right commands/functions to prevent <F1> from bringing up the HELP during 'command' and 'insert' modes. Thank you.
