custom nmap not working with global (:g)?

[Reckoner]

Hi,

I have the following map:

<F2> :call ToggleCppComment("#")<CR>

but when I try to do

:g/print/normal <F2>

it doesn't work the same as doing

:g/print/call ToggleCppComment("#")

what am I missing here?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

the <F2> after the normal command is not a not a reference to the
function key, but the sequence of the command <F2 followed by the
(incomplete) command >. To call your mapping you can try

:g/print/exe "normal \<F2>"

Regards,
Jürgen
