Hi Wizards: I wanted to make a set of macros that cycle through wrapmargin settings like this: " *w cycles wm=0/8/4 map *w *9 map *4 :set wm=4 map *8 :set wm=8 map *9 :set wm=0 The above does not work on my system, an HP9000/375 running HP-UX 7.0. Typing "*w" produces a beep and no change of wrapmargin. However, the following works and is now part of my .exrc: " S cycles wm=0/8/4 map S *9 map *4 :set wm=4 map *8 :set wm=8 map *9 :set wm=0 Questions: * Does the two-character remap work on other systems? Note that the direct two-character map for *4 etc. works fine, only the indirect map-in-a-map does not. * Alternatively, does anyone have a plausible explanation why this two-char. remap should be forbidden, or is this just a little mindless hassle?
