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 ?

    Does this answer your question? How to map Alt key?

    / is /. It's not the problem. Did you try Insert mode, hit Ctrl-V then hit Alt-/? Whatever you see there make that the mapped key. In one of my environments it's ^[/. The ^[ is the control character equivalent to Esc. So I do nnoremap <Esc>/ etc. That's an example.

  • I just noticed you said "nvim" in your comment (but not in your question...you should specify that). See :h :map-alt-keys. (It says something similar to my last comment.) ..... (Edit: I added "nvim" tag to your question)

  • Just tried it, it just doesn't read anything it seems, like nothing is sent through or vim is listening for the wrong key. Because literally no action takes place, I go to insert mode, press ctrl-o, and press alt+/ 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>
