mappings in vim nodes (was Re: why must emacs depend on sound packages?)

In vim this can be achieved by adding: :cnoremap C-P Up :cnoremap C-N Down to one's .vimrc. The only thing is that when you issue for instance the :set paste command and need to retrieve later, with the arrow keys you can type :set and do an up arrow and vim will retrieve the paste part of the command and append to the :set that you typed. For some reason this does not appear to work when you remap Up to Ctrl-P.. the previous ommand command is retrieved in its entirety and whatever you typed beyond the : is ignored.

If you want to do a proper ellipsis (i.e ... ), put this in your .vimrc After all, I only need to type a key combo followed by two different characters to replace my own personal trailing two dots by a proper ellipsis. :-) snip - if has(digraphs) digraph ., 8230 ellipsis (...) endif --- snap -- Then in insert mode Ctrl-K ., Thanks much for the tip. I fired up uxterm+vim, set the enc to =utf8 followd by :dig ., 8230 and thus verified that the unicode version of the terminus font has the correct glyph. When I finish switching to lenny where I believe utf8 is the default, I'll see if it's worth the effort adding fun stuff like that to my emails. Though I'm a bit sceptical as to the relevance of proper typesetting in the context of terminal applications such as vim/mutt.
