[Vimprobable-users] suggestion for the keyboard bindings section of the man page

[Marcos C. <vim...@pr...>]

Hi all,

The vimprobable manpage reads:

KEYBOARD BINDINGS
       The  default  keyboard bindings are explained in
       this section. These keybindings can be changed -
       either  at  runtime by altering vimprobablerc or
       editing keymap.h in  the  source  directory  (in
       which  case  you  will  need to recompile to see
       changes take effect).

I think "runtime" makes people think that any change in vimprobablerc
takes effect at the very moment. I've found out the changes take effect
on new windows, so I suggest a clearer explanation
(please correct my English):

KEYBOARD BINDINGS
       The  default  keyboard bindings are explained in
       this section. These keybindings can be changed -
       either  by the map command
	   (what will take effect at the very moment),
	   by altering vimprobablerc
	   (what will take effect on any new open window) or
       by editing keymap.h in  the  source  directory
	   (in
       which  case  you  will  need to recompile to see
       changes take effect).

Regards,
Marcos

Your observation is correct, vimprobablerc is only read once (when the
browser instance is initiated). It should be made clearer in the man
page, I will remember this suggestion for the next release.
