The above is a good solution for Normal mode; but if you do some
programming in C, C++, CSS, or any other language that uses braces,
you'll need to type the { } characters into the text (in Insert mode),
and there, of course, you cannot afford to lose non-ASCII characters
that may have to be typed, in, for instance, comments to the same code,
or even plaintext in a different file.

See :help :map-<buffer> about defining maps for one file only (you would
use that in a filetype-plugin or in an autocommand, or at the keyboard);
or else, for mappings that may have to exist in all modes I recommend
using the Fn and Shift-Fn keys (with the exception of F1 = Help and
possibly F10 = Menu) as the {lhs}. Ctrl-Fn keystrokes aren't as portable
across platforms, they may perhaps be used on Windows but they aren't a
good choice for Linux or even for double-boot, because there they won't
always reach Vim. As for Alt-Fn, IIRC even Windows snatches it for
"window management" and other actions without passing them to the
application.

If you need really many mappings you can start using multikey {lhs}es,
where the initial key would be a kind of "prefix" and the rest can even
be keys that Vim uses -- when the prefix key isn't before them. You
could for instance use

:map! ç( {
:map! ç) }

for Insert and Command-line modes (and without the exclamation mark for
Normal, Visual and Operator-Pending), and ç will still be a c-cedilla
when followed by, for instance, a vowel (but you won't see it appear in
your text until you type the next letter, or until 'timeoutlen' (q.v.)
milliseconds if you don't type anything after the ç key). You can even
map! çç to ç if you're impatient. ;-)

Best regards,
Tony.
