Re: Key mapping not working in Insert mode of vim

Hi,

I put the below key mappings in my ~/.vimrc file

:nmap <F6> :w<CR>:!ruby %<CR>
:imap <F6> :w<CR>:!ruby %<CR>

The mapping is working in *normal* mode, but not in *insert* mode. Can any one
help me to fix it. When I am pressing *F6* in *insert* mode, it is printing the
command itself in my program file as below :-

require 'csv'

p CSV.read("#{__dir__}/test.txt", 'rb', :col_sep => ':'a)
:w # <~~~ see this
:!ruby % # <~~~ see this

The above 2 are coming when I pressed *F6* in *insert* mode.

Try changing your mapping to:

:imap <F6> <ESC>:w<CR>:!ruby %<CR>

This is take you out of insert mode before saving your file and running it through ruby.
