Re: mapping g to ctrl-f -> timeout

like this?: :map g <c-f> (just checking)

quite a few commands start off with a 'g' (see ":help g").
so when vim receives a 'g' then it waits for a bit
to see whether any more characters come after that.
only when there are no further characters after a pause
then it will execute the command mapped to 'g' - feature!

i frequently use these 'g' commands:
g? ga ge gf gg gJ gq - check them out!

you can probably set a shorter delay by adjusting
the options timeout, ttimeout, and ttimeoutlen.
