As Christan said, if you map something else to Ctrl-\ the Ctrl-\ will never be actually generated and your window manager won't see it. For instance, if you add to your vimrc noremap <F6> <C-\> noremap! <F6> <C-\> then save it and restart Vim, when you hit F6 your window manager will see F6, pass it to Vim, which will interpret it as having the function of Ctrl-\. It is not needed to unmap Ctrl-\, you can have several keys for a single function. If you do :map <C-\> <Nop> then Vim won't act on the Ctrl-\ key combo even if the winmanager doesn't grab it but it will still act on the :noremap'ped F6. > > I think what I'm hoping for is if perhaps we knew something like: > C-\ calls function foo() ... By default, Ctrl-\ calls different functions in C depending on context, we have no access to those; but if we map something to <C-\> it will call those same C functions in the same contexts, and the winmanager will never see a Ctrl-\ > then I can unmap C-\ and map C-x (or S-F12) to call function foo() > and then I get the same functionality from a different key sequence > and the window mgr can grab C-\ all it wants. > > thx so much for your help, > -m Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
