[Vimprobable-users] Map one key to several commands?

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

Hi,

I realized full screen mode needs three commands:

	set statusbar=false
	set inputbox=false
	set scrollbars=false

Several key maps are needed to get it, depending on the default values
of those settings. That's not a big problem.  But maybe several commands
could be chained in one key map?  For example:

	map X=:set statusbar=false && :set inputbox=false && :set
	scrollbars=false

Or:
	map X=:set statusbar=false
	map X+=:set inputbox=false
	map X+=:set scrollbars=false

This feature could be useful to de/activate a whole set of preferences
with one key map.

Just an idea.

Marcos

Not a bad idea, but it would mainly require an unmap command to be
implemented first (right now, to remove a mapping, it can simply be
overwritten; that wouldn't necessarily be the case anymore) and a
slight modification of the routine registering new keybindings. Then,
we'd need to allow the execution of more than one binding for the same
event - that's not a big deal, it's basically just removing line 387
from main.c.

Overall, not a huge change, I'd say, unless I'm overlooking something.
Any takers?
