Re: modifyOtherKeys ?

Hi,

A few more answers -

I used terminal vim (not gvim).

I actually tried a few different terminals, but all were the same.

I will keep researching.

gvim does work ok, so its just the terminal vim that I'm asking about.

thx,

Christian, hi

If I use neovim the mapping works as expected.

With vim it does not.  Same terminal and settings.

I am using a terminal that has modifyOtherKeys set to 2.

I have made sure t_TI and t_TE are set to the above as described in the help.

I have also checked with some other programs that show the key pressed as 'M-y'

Does a simple nmap like <A-y> k (or <M-y>) work for you in vim ?

The mapping does not complain or report any issue, it just does not work.

If I use nmap <Esc>y k it works.

I am sure many would say go away and just use <Esc>y or set <F22> = "\ey" and nmap <F22> <A-y>.

Its all ok - I just thought vim would support the <A-y> or <M-y> mapping as I've configured it.

Perhaps its some other setting that vim requires that I need to keep researching ?

thx,

What exactly do you expect? What does :nmap <a-y> output?
Is this with or without modifyOtherKeys? Did you try it in an xterm or
in the GUI (gvim)?


Best,
