Now I understand.. I must have missed an episode.. I just gave it a try and it _looks_ as if when you remap <C-W>o, Vim waits for the duration of ‘timeoutlen’ after you type <C-W>. If you type the ‘o’ before the timer expires, your custom mapping is executed. If you don't, Vim falls back to the builtin: the ‘:only’ behavior. I just tested this after setting ‘timeoutlen=5000’ and as long as I waited less than five seconds between the key strokes, the message was echoed to the terminal. I proceeded to test and slowly counted to one... two.. three.. four.. five.. and sure enough all my windows but one were gone.. Note that I also have ‘ttimeoutlen’ set (rather than the default of -1). The help is not very clear: it states that ‘The timeout only happens when the 'timeout' and 'ttimeout' options tell so.’ I think that this needs to be clarified. Anyway, you could try setting timeoutlen to a few seconds and see if it helps. Another (non-exclusive) possibility is to install the Zoomwin plugin so that <C-W>o becomes a toggle that closes all windows and later brings them back to life. But mind you.. from what I'm.. guessing, you would still need to set timeoutlen & (possibly) ttimeoutlen to adequate values. HTH CJ -- Oh My God!!!
