I tend to use "nnoremap" rotely because it's usually what I mean. map applies pretty much anywhere nmap applies only in normal mode nnoremap also applies only in normal mode, but prevents recursive expansion. Thus, if you did something like :nmap <up> g<up> you'd likely have problems because the <up> on the right-hand side (RHS) of the mapping again gets expanded to make it "gg<up>" which would then be expanded to "ggg<up>", ad infinitum. :nnoremap <up> g<up> prevents things on the RHS from expanding as additional mappings. The same applies to any of the "*noremap" commands. When I create a mapping, I generally mean "do this list of things as if they are actual Vim commands, even if I accidentally overwrite one of its constituent parts with a new mapping". Each has its uses, but for my general uses, "nnoremap" is almost always what I mean, so I just type it and think later...or not at all :) :help recursive-mapping has more details on the matter. > I inserted several map commands.

I noticed those in your *vimrc files, but didn't see anything among them that would have triggered the exact text you had in your original example (something about "wqa" or "update" or something like that). However, if some of the above text appears in your text at "random", perhaps they are of a problematic ilk. There's no harm in changing them to more precise mappings ("inoremap" and "nnoremap") to eliminate one possible source of problems. -tim
I noticed your mappings for help with TeX stuff, and I thought you might want to check out Vim-LaTeX, if you haven't already. It can be found at http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net . The Tutorial (http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=manual&title=Tutorial#tutorial) explains how to use it. I started using it for some Calculus stuff I have to write and it really saves me keystrokes and whatnot. It has conveniences for viewing and compiling as well. I highly recommend it. -fREW
