How to use Vim's ] command on an Azerty keyboard

Vim

Hi,

I’m watching Ben Orenstein’s Vim for Rails Developers series. On the chapter of CTags, he tells to use the keystroke Ctrl + ] to use Ctags functionality.

The problem is, I’m on a Azerty keyboard. To get a square bracket ‘]’, I need to use the keyboard combination Shift + alt + ) So is there a way to get around this and use the Vim ‘]’ functionality?

thanks for your help,

Anthony

You can remap just about any key you want in Vim by adding mappings to your .vimrc. For example, you could use this to make Ctrl+T also work for jumping to tags:

nmap <C-T> <C-]>

Thanks Joe, I was just watching Laila Winners ‘Mapping commands’ video (The Art of Vim). Those mappings come in really handy for people with Azerty keyboards.

Anthony
