i have mapped n and p keys to do some other functions
for example to navigate forward/backward through a quickfix list.
i know mapping n and p is not a good idea, but i use quickfix so often
that i need a very simple way to navigate through it, i wanted a
single char mappings
so, n and p were the obvious choices (to me atleast), now for p's
paste function
i had setup another knob, which when set performs paste function and
when
not set it does "list previous function", i have mapped another key(s)
to set this knob.
depending on my usage of vim, believe me, it's working very well for
me and moreover
i got use to these mappings. now i want to automate the control of
knob, for example
when i yank some text, i definitely want to paste it, so if there is
an autocommand sort
of mechanism, when an yank is done, i automatically set the knob so
that the immediate
p key press would mean a paste rather than quickfix previous.
thanks
