I am learning vim.
I am at a part that I am very excited about because I think it will lead to a lot of productivity gains: key mapping.
I added the following mapping to my .vimrc
:
let mapleader = ","
nnoremap <leader>inc :set incsearch<CR>
Then I saved the file, opened a new vim
file in Vim in a new tab in iTerm, and tried to run the new mapping: I typed ,inc
then Enter.
The result is:
E492: Not an editor command: ,inc
When I run :map
, I see the mapping listed apparently correctly.
So my question is, why might this not be working?
If need be, I can paste my .vimrc
here.
EDIT: I noticed that in fact the key binding does work but not in command mode as I had erroneously thought. It works in regular normal mode.
