Question

As suggested in an answer here:

VIM Insert PHPdoc automatically

I was trying to bind Ctlp to the PHP documenter script in order to generate comments.

I used these lines at the end of my .vimrc file:

" PHP documenter script bound to Control-P
autocmd FileType php inoremap <C-P> <ESC>:call PhpDocSingle()<CR>i
autocmd FileType php nnoremap <C-P> :call PhpDocSingle()<CR>
autocmd FileType php vnoremap <C-P> :call PhpDocRange()<CR> 

But when I press Ctlp, the cursor goes to the line before and the comments are not generated.

However if I manually execute the command:

:call PhpDocSingle()

It works fine, so I know the php-doc.vim plugin is correctly installed and the problem is about the keyboard shortcut.

I’ve searched in my .vimrc file if there is any other binding to Ctlp, but I found none.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

<C-P> and <C-p> are different: you are mapping something to Ctrl+Shift+p but you are hitting Ctrl+p.

What happens when you hit Ctrl+Shift+p?
