[wellylug] vim question

[Tony Booth]

You could try putting something like this in your .vimrc file (or typing
it in directly in vim to test):

:map <F2> :w<CR>

I think (no Linux box at work to test on) that will let you press F2 to
do a normal save of the file.  Remove the <CR> if you just want :w
echoed.  If you do that, you will need add a filename or press the enter
key to complete the command after pressing F2.

I hope this works.

Cheers
Tony

i have vim rsi in my righthand :-(
too many times pressing :w
it's the shift-colon that's doing.

is it possible and easy to change the commands for save to something
else, like a semicolon instead of a colon?? then i won't need to press
the shift key.

thanks
-Brenda
