Trying to map the NERDCommenter's toggle comment action (mapped to <leader>c<space>) to alt+/, something a bit more familiar. I tried:
nnoremap <A-/> <leader>c<space>
...but it doesn't seem to work or do anything. Do I have the key alt+/ wrong ? how can you represent the / character in .vim ?
Error detected while processing /Users/akharrou/.config/nvim/general/settings.vim: line 539: E518: Unknown option: <M-j>=^[jThe 3rd answer doesn't say how to represent "/". The 4th answer doesn't work either, it's like nothing happens or I don't get it. The 2nd and last answers don't say how to represent "/" and are irrelevant because I already have "alt" working, just don't know how to combine alt<A-with the character "/"... – Akharrou Nov 20 at 20:59/is/. It's not the problem. Did you try Insert mode, hitCtrl-Vthen hitAlt-/? Whatever you see there make that the mapped key. In one of my environments it's^[/. The^[is the control character equivalent toEsc. So I donnoremap <Esc>/ etc. That's an example. – B Layer Nov 20 at 21:28:h :map-alt-keys. (It says something similar to my last comment.) ..... (Edit: I added "nvim" tag to your question) – B Layer Nov 20 at 21:40ctrl-o, and pressalt+/but nothing takes places, it just keeps waiting for a command. I tried:nnoremap ^[/ <leader>c<space>nnoremap <Esc>/ <leader>c<space>nnoremap <A-/> <leader>c<space>– Akharrou Nov 21 at 8:21
