All are natural except for blue which is actually the triumph of human pigmentation over genetic limitation. What do these colors stand for? Love, life, compassion and innocence? I am not sure. Not wanting to miss the chance of being a flower, I pick up one more, a blue rose and place it on the counter next to the red, green, pink and white roses. So, even flowers are not safe from human stereotypes. 'When yellow flowers are used in even numbers they carry that message, otherwise they are a symbol of loyalty,' he says as he adds a few other decorative plants to my bouquet.

You can send flowers instead.' Like or dislike, I think yellow flowers are just as beautiful as any.

You don't need to yell or shout your dislike. But the florist who was already engrossed in arranging the flowers did not even look up, 'We are supposedly civilized human beings. 'But why give flowers to someone you don't like? That is one costly way of declaring hostility,' I remarked hardly able to hide the glee in my voice. I too had heard yellow flowers were a symbol of dislike. 'Do you mean yellow flowers?' I ask, somewhat rhetorically. This is only active in default Vim if 'allowrevins' is set, for right-to-left languages.My mind runs in colors. However, neither ZZ nor ZQ do anything (as in normal mode), and no other key combination is listed in the index, so it appears that Z actually does nothing in visual mode. Z in visual mode waits for a following key, as seen if 'showcmd' is set. However, the documentation ( :help v_R) says 'In a next version it might work differently.' Mapping with xnoremap will map it only for visual mode while preserving the default behavior in select mode. In select mode, this switches to visual mode for one command. This is the key, which does nothing in visual mode. (A similar problem does not exist for s and cl, since there is no point in repeating it.) However, it is handy to be able to repeat x several times in a row, whereas repeating dl gets cumbersome. The documentation ( :help maplocalleader) even mentions the underscore as an example of a key that can be used for the local leader.

However, many people like to map this to y$ to match the behavior of C and D. On modern machines most people have no use for flow control so you can run stty -ixon in your shell to unlock it for your own use.īy default, this is an inferior version of K that can be obtained through man.vim with runtime! ftplugin/man.vim. This key is used for flow control on the terminal. :help :map-alt-keys for more information. Note that mapping alt keys can be problematic depending on the terminal emulator. In the following table, the type 'Free' means a key is not used in Vim by default, whereas the type 'Synonym' means a key is used in Vim by default but is a synonym for some other key that is also used in Vim by default so that there is no danger in mapping it.įor instance. See the article 'Follow my leader' in § External links below for hints on combining keys. Many more mappings are possible by combining keys. In addition, the page lists synonyms that can safely be mapped. As such, it is an inverted version of :help index. This page lists single unused keys in Vim.
