I am unable to map <C-/> in Neovim. In particular, it does not work for visual mode. I have created the mappings below:

vim.keymap.set('i', '<C-/>', '<Esc>:Commentary<CR>')    
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-/>', 'gcc')    
vim.keymap.set('v', '<C-/>', 'gc')

Using vim I have the mapping below, which works fine:

imap <C-_> <Esc>:Commentary<CR>
nmap <C-_> gcc
vmap <C-_> gc

But <C-_> also does not work for Neovim. I can also confirm using <C-V> <C-/> that Neovim indeed sees <C-/> and not <C-_> like vim.

I am aware of this question, but it seems Neovim has different behavior from vim.

Edit: I found out it is a problem with Kitty, other terminals do send <C-_>

Setting remap = true solves the issue.

vim.keymap.set('i', '<C-/>', '<Esc>:Commentary<CR>')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-/>', 'gcc', { remap = true })
vim.keymap.set('v', '<C-/>', 'gc',  { remap = true })

  • I tried to map gcc to another command and remap=true got it working, but I'm not clear why, can you expand? Oct 16 at 17:32
