I just got a Kinesis Advantage keyboard and want to remap Enter to Esc in insert mode in vim. I'm using iTerm2 as well.
Here's what I've got so far:
inoremap <CR> <Esc>
inoremap jj <Esc>
nnoremap <CR> i
On startup, this does not work: Enter enters insert mode, and in insert mode, jj
exits insert mode. However, Enter does not exit from insert mode.
Then I reload my vimrc file:
:so $MYVIMRC
And viola, my Enter key now exits insert mode and everything works fine.
Any thoughts on why this would be happening?
Thanks
It is likely you have something overriding the mapping. What does "
:verbose imap <cr>
" show? – Heptite – 2016-08-24T23:58:37.200Aha, that's exactly what's happening. Before reloading, it reads:
i <CR> * pumvisible() ? "\<C-N>" : "\<CR>" Last set from ~/vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/autoload/youcompleteme.vim
, and after:i <CR> * <Esc> Last set from ~/.vimrc
. Thank you! Want to make an answer and I'll accept it? – thekevinscott – 2016-08-25T13:06:16.113
