If none are entered before a timeout expires Vim acts on the "\".
Since when I do this I am in "command" mode and "\" by itself is not mapped to anything .. Vim beeps .. complaining I entered a command he knows nothing about. Then Vim processes the "s" -- deleting the character under the cursor and switching to insert mode .. and since I am now in insert mode.. inserts an "A" Questions: 1. Is the above interpretation correct? 2. Is there any way I can increase the timeout? 3. If not, what's a good substitute <leader> for the backslash? Thanks cga
