Hi,
I'm having difficultly mapping alt + the arrow keys at startup in MacVim.
So, I have this in my .vimrc in order to move between windows:
map <M-Up> :wincmd k<CR>
map <M-Down> :wincmd j<CR>
map <M-Left> :wincmd h<CR>
map <M-Right> :wincmd l<CR>
But this doesn't work in MacVim at startup, alt+left/right navigate to
previous/next word and alt+up/down seem to navigate to previous/next paragraph.
It does work if I do:
:source ~/.vimrc
So somehow if my execute my vimrc after MacVim has started then the mapping
works correctly. Everything else in my vimrc works normally without having to
manually source it including other key mappings. I've also tried deleting
everything else in my vimrc except those 4 lines and it still doesn't work. If
I change the maps to:
map <C-M-Up> :wincmd k<CR>
map <C-M-Down> :wincmd j<CR>
map <C-M-Left> :wincmd h<CR>
map <C-M-Right> :wincmd l<CR>
Then it works correctly at MacVim startup, but I don't want to have to hold
both ctrl+alt. Only keybindings with alt alone don't work.
I've tried playing with the macmeta setting, it doesn't make any difference. I
shouldn't need macmeta anyway according to the help page:
Note: Some keys (e.g. <M-F1>, <M-Tab>, <M-Return>, <M-Left>) can be
bound with the Meta flag even when this option is disabled, but this
is not the case for the majority of keys (e.g. <M-a>, <M-`>).
I'm kind of stumped at this point. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun
