Challenge: How to map Ctrl+Spacebar to Ctrl+N in vim?

[KingNothing]

In Vim, if I'm in insert mode and press Ctrl+N, it'll do code completion on whatever I've typed. Very handy, but I'm used to other editors where Ctrl+Spacebar does this and the spacebar is a lot easier to hit than the N key is. I've tried:

_ represents space

:map! ^V__ ^N <-- this maps JUST the spacebar to ^N, which is seriously annoying

:map! ^V<Space> ^N <-- this does nothing

HELP! :frown:

Edit: Many have tried, none have succeeded. Show your geekiness and make this work!

you could try using <> notation. In your case I think it's <C-SPACE> .

Didn't work, I tried:

:map! <C-SPACE> ^N
:map! <C-Space> ^N

I'm using Vim 6.1 on Cygwin, BTW.

Cool site, but didn't see anything applicable. I posted a question in a thread about code completion though.

Possibly something like <C-<SPACE>>, or <C-^V<SPACE^V>>.

 

[KingNothing]

Nope. Neither of those work.

Google rox

" To type the following line, type *two* C-V's followed by two spaces. This
" is how you map the spacebar.
nmap ^V <C-F><C-G>

So most likely <C- > or <C-^V^V >

 

[KingNothing]

Nope. The bit you found about mapping the spacebar is correct, but I tried your suggestions and variations on them and it didn't work.

If you find out, let me know. I haven't figured that out either.
