KAKOUNE(1) ========== NAME ---- mapping - a Description ----------- Creating and removing shortcuts boils down to the following commands, respectively: --------------------------------------- map [flags] <scope> <mode> <key> <keys> unmap <scope> <mode> <key> [<expected>] --------------------------------------- The *map* command makes *key* behave as if the *keys* sequence was typed. *mode* dictates in what context the mapping will be available: *insert*:: insert mode *normal*:: normal mode *prompt*:: prompts, such as when entering a command through *:*, or a regex through */* *menu*:: mode entered when a menu is displayed with the 'menu' command *user*:: mode entered when the user prefix is hit (default: ',') *goto*:: mode entered when the goto key is hit (default: 'g') *view*:: mode entered when the view key is hit (default: 'v') *object*:: mode entered when an object selection is triggered (e.g. '<a-i>') The context of execution of the above modes is always the current one at the time of execution of the mapping, except for *user* mode (always executed in a 'normal' context). An optional *-docstring* switch followed by a string can be used to describe what the mapping does. This docstring will be used in autoinfo boxes. The *unmap* command removes a mapping of *key* in the given *scope* and *mode*. If *expected* is specified, the mapping is removed only if it is set to the same sequence of keys passed using the *expected* argument. For more information about the values of the *scope* parameter, refer to the 'scopes' documentation page.
