I want to bring some magic to my configuration but it fails to work because it seems Vim refuses to imap to a key in main keyboard. For example:
imap a bcd
I know most of time that's insane, but I have use case for that. Is there any switch for that so that I can turn this off?
Here is my Vim version:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Mar 31 2015 23:36:07)
I found the reason. I have set paste in my .vimrc, and according to the doc (:h paste) this option disable mappings in insert mode:
When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on): mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled
agets input in my example.
