hello!! I am looking for the manner to insert any control character in vi . I think you can escape meaning of it in the text entry mode. This is how the solution should be. But, i cant think of how it is done. Any ideas? It is a point to be seen between the lines of any manual if at all it says about it. ==jagdeep

Hi ! > I am looking for the manner to insert any control character in vi In input mode you can enter ctrl-characters by first pressing <CTRL>-v and then pressing the ctrl-character. example : To enter ctrl-l into the text : Press <CTRL>-v and then <CTRL>-l. You can also enter <ESC> by pressing <CTRL>-v and the the <ESC> key. This is very useful with :map and makes it possible to enter <RETURN> and other useful ctrl-characters in macros.
