How do I map ctrl x ctrl o to ctrl space in terminal vim?

Question

After searching a bit on the net it seems that I can\'t map CtrlSpace to anything/alot. Is there a way to do it today, what I found was usually 2 years

Answer 1

The problem seems to be that Terminal.app doesn't interpret correctly and Vim understands it as which is a built-in mapping (:help CTRL-@).

Maybe you could go with something like the following in your .vimrc:

if !has("gui_running")
    inoremap  
endif

which seems to work, here, but I don't like the idea of overriding built-ins like that.

Instead you should try with (:help leader), it gives you huge possibilities for defining your own custom mappings and (depending on the mapleader you choose) won't interfere with OS/app specific shortcuts/limitations and hence be more portable.

With this in my .vimrc:

let mapleader=","
inoremap , 

I just hit ,, to complete method names.
