Re: Language dependent mapping

I want to map insertion of such strings to some key (e.g. F8).
However, I want this mapping to be language dependent.
It should recognize type of file in the current buffer and insert
appropriate string.

Is it possible to implement such mapping in VIM?
Are there ready-to-use solutions?
What should I learn to implement such mapping from scratch?

One way to do this is by using the filetype.

Create two files, $VIM/ftplugin/cpp.vim and $VIM/ftplugin/perl.vim and put your mappings in there:

in $VIM/ftplugin/cpp.vim

nmap <buffer> <F8> 80i/<esc>

imap <buffer> <F8> <esc>80i/<esc>

$VIM/ftplugin/perl.vim

nmap <buffer> <F8> 80i#<esc>

imap <buffer> <F8> <esc>80i#<esc>
