I have Vim 7.2 installed on Windows. In GVim, the <C-PageUp> and <C-PageDown> work for navigation between tabs by default. However, it doesn’t work for Vim.
I have even added the below lines in _vimrc, but it still does not work.
map <C-PageUp> :tabp<CR>
map <C-PageDown> :tabn<CR>
But, map and works.
map <C-left> :tabp<CR>
map <C-right> :tabn<CR>
Does anybody have a clue why?
The problem you describe is generally caused by vim’s terminal settings not knowing the correct character sequence for a given key (on a console, all keystrokes are turned into a sequence of characters). It can also be caused by your console not sending a distinct character sequence for the key you’re trying to press.
If it’s the former problem, doing something like this can work around it:
Where
<CTRL-V>and<CTRL-PAGEUP>are literally those keys, not “less than, C, T, R, … etc.”.If it’s the latter problem then you need to either adjust the settings of your terminal program or get a different terminal program. (I’m not sure which of these options actually exist on Windows.)
