You can however have the function keys have meaningful identifiers by mapping them as #n (where n is the number of the function key). Thus ``:map #6 w'' will map function key 6 to w and will be listed as something like: f6 ^[[17~ w The arrow key names are hard-coded in vi and apart from the function keys special case the other mappings have the left hand side of the map used as the key name. -- Diomidis Spinellis
