what's the difference among no, cno, and ino remap with vimperator?

Question

i currently have the following vimperatorrc setup: " mswin.vimp - mappings to make copy/paste in Vimperator behave like Windows " Maintainer: Doug Kearns " Last Change: 31 Oct 2008

noremap noremap " TODO: this should probably be - see :help dos-CTRL-break in Vim noremap

inoremap inoremap inoremap

noremap noremap noremap noremap noremap noremap

cnoremap cnoremap cnoremap cnoremap cnoremap cnoremap cnoremap

inoremap inoremap inoremap inoremap inoremap inoremap inoremap

however, i have no idea how it works since the vimperator documentation doesn't seem to explain it

Answer 1

Here's the link to the relevant Vimperator documentation page, which explains it pretty well: http://vimperator.org/help/vimperator/map.xhtml

Keys can be mapped in four distinct modes:

Normal mode: When browsing normally

Visual mode: When selecting text with the cursor keys

Insert mode: When interacting with text fields on a website

Command-line mode: When typing into the Vimperator command line

In direct answer to your title:

no refers to mappings that are used when in normal mode

cno refers to mappings that are used when in command-line mode

ino refers to mappings that are used when in insert mode
