Showcmd of Control-Modified Keys Changes After Intalling vim-zoom
Closed this issue · 5 comments
After installing vim-zoom, when pressing control-modified keys (e.g. <C-w> or <C-t>), showcmd shows an unusual sequence.
The expected behavior is for showcmd to show ^ as the control key, but with vim-zoom installed it shows <80>ü^
Without vim-zoom installed:
With vim-zoom installed
@austinliuigi Is this just by installing vim-zoom or are you zoomed in / out ?
@dhruvasagar Yeah just by installing vim-zoom. Not zoomed in or out.
It's no issue with the functionality, just an eye sore, really.
It's because of the nmap definition in zoom.vim:
nmap <C-W>m <Plug>(zoom-toggle)
The literal <C-W> causes this wired representation of the keysequence when showcmd is set. Also see https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/6088/using-c-causes-80%C3%BCd-to-flash-in-the-showcmd-area . There is a helpful comment from Mamrezo:
In insert mode, try this: Hit <C-V> and then <C-,> this will insert the sequence of keys Vim tracked from Shell
When using the suggested trick, it is possible to declare the nmap as follows:
" Do not copy & paste the line below! The ^W sequence is the representation of the ETB char (ASCII Code 0x17)
nmap ^Wm <Plug>(zoom-toggle)
Notice how <C-W> becomes ^W. With this definition, the statusbar correctly shows ^W without flashing <80>ü^.
As of now I am going to ignore this. It's more to do with vim and vim-zoom.
