VIM :set list! as a toggle in .vimrc

Question

Is there any way in my .vimrc file to use the command set list! with a keybind like F3 so it functions like this paste toggle set pastetoggle=

Answer 1

This is the mapping for normal mode, visual+select mode, and operator-pending mode (e.g. after typing d):

noremap  :set list!

The nice thing about the function keys (vs. ) is that they can also be mapped in insert mode:

inoremap  :set list!

To be complete, you could also create a map for command-line mode:

cnoremap  :set list!
