If I am doing anything at all complicated, I use a function:
:map <F4> :call Foo()<CR>
If I want to do something slightly different depending on the mode, I
add a flag to the argument list:
:nmap <F4> :call Foo('n')<CR>
:imap <F4> :call Foo('i')<CR>
function! Foo(mode)
if a:mode == 'n'
" set up for Normal mode
elseif a:mode == 'i'
" set up for Insert mode
else " oops!
return
endif
" lots more stuff
endfun
