Question

I use K to move cursor line down in a file.

but I want to add a mapping so that when I press CtrlK the cursor moves to move 7 lines down in a file.

I have put this in my .vimrc file:

nmap <c-k> 7k

but what that does is move 7 lines down and then it enters a spacebar.

How do I stop it from entering the spacebar?

Answer 1

You have a space following the 7k in your nmap.

:nmap <C-k> 7k works correctly for me, but if I put a space after the 7k then I reproduce the behavior you’ve described.
