Use different key than "c"

[davidpdrsn]

I find that when I've selected something in visual mode and hit "c" to change it, I have to wait like a second before Vim reacts. This is probably because Vim is waiting to see if I type "cp".

Using another key than "cp" would probably fix this.

What do you think?

I've also found that "cp" conflicts with https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace

I'm leaning towards removing the cp visual mode mapping. Likewise, I think making the mapping fail if an existing one exists would be good, with instructions as to how to define an alt mapping.

Thanks for reporting!

What about zy (syztem yank) instead of cp; zyy instead of cP; and zp (syztem paste) instead of cv? They are free as well (as far as I know) and one wouldn't have this visual mode problem as well.

I would suggest <Leader>c wich will not clonflict with any other mapping, I guess!

Any thoughts on this @christoomey ?

Any way to change mappings of c?

[MahbubAlam231]

@isakhammer @pablopunk I have forked christoomey's repo here and use zy (syztem yank) instead of cp, zyy to copy whole line and zp (syztem paste) to paste. But I suppose you can also put the following in your .vimrc:

 nmap zy <Plug>SystemCopy
 xmap zy <Plug>SystemCopy
 nmap zyy <Plug>SystemCopyLine
 nmap zp <Plug>SystemPaste
