:set timeout timeoutlen=400 ttimeoutlen=30
If custom mappings feel laggy, the issue is often timeout tuning rather than mapping design.
config #config #mappings #performance #command-line #insert-mode
:normal! @q
Recorded macros can become fragile when your config defines mappings that shadow built-in keys.
:set timeoutlen=300 ttimeoutlen=10
If key mappings feel laggy, many users reduce timeoutlen and stop there.
config #config #mappings #terminal #performance #insert-mode
:verbose nmap <lhs>
When key behavior is inconsistent, the root cause is usually mapping precedence.

vim.keymap.del()
vim.
<SID>
(Script ID) is a Vimscript token that expands to a unique, per-script prefix at runtime.
v:count1
The v:count1 variable holds the count typed before a command, defaulting to 1 if no count was given.
:set wildcharm=<Tab>
The wildcharm option designates a key that, when it appears inside a mapping, triggers wildmenu completion on the command line — just as if you had pressed in
set wildcharm= then nnoremap b :b
wildcharm sets the key that triggers wildmenu expansion inside mappings.
require('which-key').setup()
which-key.
:verbose map <key> or :verbose set option?
The :verbose prefix shows where a mapping, setting, command, or function was defined — which file and line number.
command-line #command-line #debugging #config #mappings #workflow
let mapleader = ' ' then nnoremap <leader>key command
The leader key is a configurable prefix for your custom key mappings.
:let @q then use in nnoremap
Macros are stored in registers as plain keystroke strings.
onoremap ih :<C-u>execute "normal! ?^==\+$\r:noh\rkvg_"<CR>
Vim lets you define custom text objects using operator-pending mode mappings (onoremap) and visual mode mappings (vnoremap).
:m+1 / :m-2
The :m (move) command relocates lines to a new position in the file without using registers.

:nnoremap / :inoremap / :vnoremap
Vim has two types of key mappings: recursive (:map, :nmap, :imap) and non-recursive (:noremap, :nnoremap, :inoremap).
