Problem with keyboard mapping

[Ven Tadipatri]

Hi,

  I have the Vim Sql Workbench plugin, and I'm trying to get the keyboard shortcut working. When I type ":nmap", I see that this mapping is there:

n  \<C-Space>   @:SWSqlExecuteCurrent<CR>

However, when I type "backslash - ctrl - space" , the Terminal just flashes and does nothing. I've tried using a different leader key, and the same thing happens, so it doesn't seem to be a Mac Terminal setting. 

  This is on a mac, with vim 9.1 . On my old mac, this keymapping was working. It still works if I type ":SWSqlExecuteCurrent", it's just the keyboard shortcut that I'm struggling with.

  Would appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Ven

Could you try this mapping

nnoremap <leader><space> :SWSqlExecuteCurrent<CR>

I don't know how the leader key would work with <C-space> (which I read as <ctrl><space>).

Yes, the nnoremap worked perfectly! It looks to be an issue with Ctrl+space for some reason.

Thank you so much Igbanam for your help - I was struggling with this for several months and was ready to give up on getting the vim mapping right.

Thanks,

Ven

If you're on a Mac, the keyboard shortcuts may override the vim mappings you have. In this case, it turns out that this post helped : https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/423974 

There was a keyboard shortcut for switching input sources and once that was disabled, then the vim mapping worked as expected.

Thanks,

Ven
