I use vi.
The biggest nuisance I have with it is constantly having to hit the esc
button to exit the insert mode. I have remapped my ; key to do this. But,
now I have to type cntrl-v59 to insert a semicolon into my document.
I have tried to map F2 to insert a ; but that is not possible. Hitting the
F2 key just results in an esc command being sent, not a ; symbol.
I have tried to define the F2 mapping with cntrl-v59, and that works, but
the F2 key then sends a ; which results in the esc function being activated.
So, I guess my problem is, how do you send an ascii code to vi and prevent
it from being interpreted if it has been remapped?
I can get around this by making up a file which contains the ; symbol, and
reading that file into my document with a macro, but that seems really lame.
