The Diffrerence 在 :map 和 :noremap 里 in VIM

The Difference Between :map and :noremap in Vim

OCT 8TH, 2011

Simply put :map and :noremap are recursive and non-recursive mapping commands.

Huh?

Let’s say you have the following in your .vimrc

.vimrc

123

map j kmap L jnoremap m j

• j will be mapped to k
• L will also be mapped to k, because j is expanded for recursive mapping.
• m will be mapped to j (not to k)

Modes

Since Vim has different modes, Normal, Insert, Visual and so on, mappings can be set for these modes. For example,:vmap and :vnoremap is for Visual mode mappings.
