In vim I’d like to create a command abbreviation for the key strokes 30

  • 0

In vim I’d like to create a command abbreviation for the key strokes 30 <C-w> v, i.e. split the current window vertically at a width of 30 characters.

This in my .vimrc file, however, gives: E148: Regular expression missing from global:

cabbr SomeCommand 30 <C-w> v

Obviously I’m doing something wrong.

    Your command sequence won’t work in command mode, use the following instead:

    cabbr SomeCommand 30vs
