I attempted to map this code ":set nobackup" to an 'Fx' key, (as a line in my .vimrc) with no good results; the formats I attempted were:
map <F3> :set nobackup <return> map <F3> ":set nobackup" <return> Actually, I just yanked/put the preceding line* (which I KNOW works), and modified it: *map <silent> <F2> :nohlsearch <return> with the thought that it would be easier to leave a correctly functioning line (after the modifications), coming from something that's already valid. But...of course not. Where did I go wrong?
