It's all the same, and the preferred notation is `<C-G>'. But at least for gVim, `<C-Tab>' is different from `<C-S-Tab>'. > Also, when can one use A-C-S combinations? > > PS. <M-...> has the alias <A-...>, right? `<M-' (Meta) is like `<A-' (Alt). `<M-g>' is different from `<M-G>'. Problem is, the Alt-combinations are normal characters and often come in the way. And the :map output prints these characters instead of `<M-g>'. And on Windows, Alt- also accesses the menu (sometimes I use the menu). On the plus side, the Alt combinations are otherwise completely free to use (no conflicts with builtin keys). Some experts may have more to say on the issue ... -- Andy -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

On my linux desktops all `<A-` keys are reserved for the window manager: some are really used by it (i3), some are just “mentally reserved”. In addition for some reason my Konsole serializes all alt shortcuts as `<C-x>@s<Esc>{key}`, which effectively prevents anything from recognizing them. I did not attempt to fix that because of `<A-` shortcuts being reserved for window manager in any case. > > -- > Andy > > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
