Mapping +T?

[703designs]

I always use :tabnew for tabs, and I don't get anything out of the +T
(new tab) command. Right now, I have <C-T> mapped to a function, but
of course it feels awkward on my Mac. How can I remap +T?

Isn't Apple-T already the shortcut for creating new tabs in MacVim by
default?

Yep, I want to remove or override that binding. If you haven't guessed
yet, this is for FuzzyFinder (TextMate muscle memory).

You could try <D-T>. I don't know if there is something special about
the existing tab mapping, but I use <D-...> for mapping many other
things like <D-1>, <D-2> for tab shortcuts.

macmenu &File.New\ Tab key=<nop>
nnoremap <D-t> whatever you want...

It must be in your vimrc or gvimrc as the unbinding will only work if it
happens at startup time for a Vim instance. The :menu command without
parameters is helpful to find the exact text to use to unbind menu item
keys, e.g. I need

macmenu &File.Open\ Tab\.\.\.<Tab>:tabnew key=<nop>
nnoremap <D-T> something

to change the meaning of apple-shift-T, but there was no way I could
figure that out just by looking at the menu.

:help :macmenu
:help <D-
:help showing-menus

I must be missing something; this doesn't work:

" Unmap Apple+T

macmenu &File.New\ Tab key=<nop>

" FuzzyFinder
nnoremap <D-T> :FuzzyFinderFile<CR>

This *must* go in .gvimrc, not .vimrc, otherwise the "macmenu" command
will be overridden by the one that sets up the default menus.

You could also just symlink .gvimrc to .vimrc and include these in an
"if has('gui_running')" section. I'm not sure if that's advisable
though.

Hope that helps!

You want a little t, not a big T. What you have in your map is command+shift+T.

Thanks for all the help! I have a very organized Vim configuration
(mappings in .vim/scripts/conf/mappings.vim, etc.) so I wasn't putting
this in the .gvimrc. And with that, my biggest reason for using
TextMate has vanished.
