C-{ and C-} to change buffer

[matias]

Hi!

Congratulations from MacVim, is a fantastic software!

I am far more used to use 'buffers' than to 'tabs' in VIM. Is there
any way to change the default mapping of C-{ and C-} to switch between
buffers instead of tabs?

I tried:

map! <D-{> :bnext <CR>
map! <D-}> :bprev <CR>

in my ~/.vimrc

with no luck.

thanks!

Hi Matias,

When a key is bound to a menu you first need to clear the menu binding
and this can only be done inside .gvimrc (_not_ .vimrc ... uh, at
least I don't think .vimrc will work). See ":h :macm" on how this is
done. Something like this should work (not tested):

macm Window.Select\ Next\ Tab key=nop
nmap <D-}> :bnext<CR>

macm Window.Select\ Previous\ Tab key=nop
nmap <D-{> :bprev<CR>

Thanks a lot!!

I worked fine, I just modified some small errors in the syntax:

macm  Window.Select\ Next\ Tab key=<nop>

nmap <D-}> :bnext<CR>

macm Window.Select\ Previous\ Tab key=<nop>
nmap <D-{> :bprev<CR>

in .gvimrc
Thanks a lot!!!

PD: I found this biddings also great!
map <D-\|> :blast <CR>
map <D-+>  :BufExplorer<CR>
map <D-S-BS> :bdelete<CR>
