This is the problem. I want to use in my mapping but it causes a bell to ring every time I press on it, no matter what I mapped it to.

For example:

nmap <c-/> y

I am on nvim-qt.

PS tried all of these and still happens:

set noerrorbells visualbell t_vb=
set noeb vb t_vb=
autocmd GUIEnter * set visualbell t_vb=

  • Update, mapping BS and ctrl / in terminal contradict where ctrl / interprets as BS.

On my setup (Vim 8.1.2102, Ubuntu, Gnome-Terminal, german keyboard), <C-/> is equivalent to <C-7> and <C-_>.

I opened a new buffer, changed to insert mode and hit <C-v> followed by <C-/> and it inserted ^_ (displayed in blue). The same input is created for <C-v><C-7> and <C-v><C-_>.

So I used the following:

nmap <C-_> p

Now <C-_> acts like p. But also <C-/> and <C-7> works like p.

  • @eyalkarni Reevaluated my test and rewrote the answer. Lessons learned: Reevaluate the test case in a new Vim before writing an answer. Sorry for the confusion.

  • The environments are very much different. It was a good try.
