:lmap is only for typed characters. From the help:
No, that's not my problem. I'm attaching a file which demonstrates
the exact problem, if you do "gvim -u test.vim", and then in insert
mode type the "'" (single-quote) character, you will get a message.
If you then type ":HebrewWin" and type the 'w' character (which is
lmapped to "'" on a Hebrew keyboard) you will see the single-quote,
but no message. Similarly if you type a single-quote (which gives you
a comma), you get no message.
It appears you expect lmap's to be remappable. If you look at the
output of ":lmap" you can see they are listed with a star, which means
they are not remappable.
Oh, but what is the difference between :lmap and :lnoremap then? Under
":help :lmap", I read: “The result, including {rhs}, is then further
scanned for mappings.” which would make me believe that :lmap is
remappable (and that :lnoremap is not).
However, this ought not even to come into play here, since the problem
is not about scanning (or not) the {rhs} of the :lmap, but the output of
@a. Under ":help @" it is said: “The register is executed like a
mapping, that means that the difference between 'wildchar' and
'wildcharm' applies.” What it doesn't say is that it is executed like a
_non-remappable_ mapping, which seems to be the case: when 'iminsert' is
1, [ typed at the keyboard appears as {{{ (the :lmap has been triggered)
but [ input by executing @a remains [ (it hasn't).
The problem wht remapping is that you nearly always get a recursive
sequence, since the character that :lmap maps to usually is lmap'ped to
something else.
Solving this would require another kind of mapping: don't allow :lmap
remapping but do allow other remapping.
That already exists (but doesn't work, see above): "don't allow lnoremap
(or keymap lines) remapping but do allow lmap remapping".
Best regards,
Tony.
