I want to define a map for a several-words expression.

In ~/.config/nvim/init.vim :

:map abc a-b-c

works perfectly well.

But I want to do something like

:map a\ b\ c a-b-c

If I type "a b c", I want to see "a-b-c".

I've tried some combinations with the slashes, quotation marks, etc.

NOTE: My real use case is (in French) to auto-replace "c'est à dire" by "c'est-à-dire"; thus I also need to be able to insert a simple quote ' in the expressions.

  • Do you want this to occur in insert mode? Because if you do you need to use inoremap or for recursive mapping imap. You can see what commands to use for each mode by doing :help map-modes in vim or online here Commented Oct 16 at 15:33
