It sounds like you have the mapping defined in normal mode, with :map, but not in insert mode, with :map!. Often with Vim one needs two mappings; for example, I use map <F7> :noh<CR> map! <F7> <C-O>:noh<cr> to turn off search highlighting till the next search. Note that the :map! version has to leave insert mode temporarily; that's why they're separate. vi was like this. Apologies if I'm off the mark. John
