I've remapped q to :bp, but to get an instant response, I have to press it twice. Otherwise there's a two second delay. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

function! NetrwMapping()
  noremap <buffer> q :bp<CR>
endfunction

  • I tried :nmap q :bp<CR> and that worked without a delay for me. Although if you've mapped something else to q<some other key>, that might be causing the delay. You can check this by trying :nmap q and see what the output is.

    Please provide the exact command you used to remap it, otherwise, nobody can help you.

This happens because Vim waits to see if you want to do q<letter> to start recording a macro (there are a couple other things too like q:). You can use the tm option to change the amount it waits(will apply to all maps), or remap it to another unused letter.
