But I wanted the way of "name" those keysequences when using in vim scripts displayed. As explained under ":help i_CTRL-K", you can get the keycodes for special keys by pressing CTRL-K followed by the key in insert mode. - Yegappan

But I wanted the way of "name" those keysequences when using in vim scripts displayed. Keep hacking! mcc Yes, that's what I said. Let's say you hit (in Insert mode) Ctrl-V followed by F1. In gvim, you get (less-than, eff, one, greater-than). In console Vim, it depends on the terminal. I get ^[OP (Control-left-bracket oh pee) in konsole and ^[[[A (control-left-bracket left-bracket left-bracket aye) in /dev/tty (the pure-text non-X terminal). [All this with a single executable which can run as a Gnome2 GUI or as a console utility on Linux.] When I hit (still in Insert mode) Ctrl-K and then F1, I get in all three. Best regards, Tony.

I don't know whether this second method also applies in "tiny" or "small" versions of Vim (which lack the +digraphs feature); but these versions also lack expression evaluation, so I personally give them a wide berth. Best regards, Tony.
Re: What is the key nameing of...
Ctrl-V does exactly this. You can go into insert mode, then hit C-V, Ctrl+Up and it will display: You can :help keycodes to see a list of others.

Hi, I often have the problem to guess, how a certain keysequence is named by the syntax of the vim scripting language. Recently I tried to map Control-CursorUp but it simply does not work for me. Is there any function/script/hack/trick/* like Ctrl-v is for the "raw keysequence" to display the <"key"> thingy?
