Re: Newbie question about mapping...

Actually, I think I know what was causing the issue.... While in INSERT mode, I had moved the cursor to the first letter in the word and then pressed ctrl-d.  Going from insert to normal mode causes the cursor to move to the left, since there was no longer a word beneath the cursor, nothing was upper-cased....

Does anyone know how I can prevent the cursor from moving when I go from INSERT to normal mode... or revise my mapping so that it works regardless of where the cursor is within the word when ctrl-d is pressed?

Hey Gary,

Thank you for your response.

I'm not sure what the deal is... but the mapping is working after I exited and then re-started vim....

It works for me.  It works better, though, using 'gi' instead of
'i' so that the cursor position is restored to the place where the
mapping was executed:

    :inoremap <c-d> <esc>viwU<esc>gi

How does it not work for you?  "[I]t doesn't work" is not much to go
on.

Gary
