It took me a while until I realized that it is possible to achieve buffer-local mappings with
MapExpress
andMapSubpress
, by prepending the lhs of the mapping with<buffer>
, e.g.MapExpress <buffer>cd '/* ' . v:val . ' */'
. I tried it with a space between the<buffer>
and the lhs, but that did not work. Since some of the mappings only really make sense in certain filetypes I thought it would be nice if this little fact were documented.
