First, I'm not entirely clear on your problem. Vim and MATLAB are two separate applications. Pressing a key in one should not affect the other, unless you have installed some fancy plugin which makes Vim control MATLAB. Second, it is very easy to map keys in Vim. Since there are so few keys available, the best would be something like: nnoremap <F2> <C-V> The "nnoremap" says "make this mapping apply in normal mode, and don't expanding other mappings while evaluating this one" <F2> is the key you will press to trigger the mapping. In general the function keys F2-F12 are not used by Vim and are therefore good candidates for mappings. F1 is just a synonym for :help so that could probably be remapped too. <C-V> obviously enters visual block mode as normal (since the nnoremap command ignores other mappings). -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
