I've been trying to do some key mapping in vi, but I'm stuck. I can associate simple letters to words, eg. map n anand, so that a press of 'anand' will instead send 'anand' to the editor. However, I want to associate the function keys F1 to F12 with various more complex macros, for example a substitution macro, like: F1 = s/From: Anand Buddhdev <arb@anand.org>/From: postmaster/ This is so I can use vi with mutt, and change my from addresses with a single key rather than editing them everytime. Any help will be appreciated. -- Anand To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
