Macos – How to map –-f to run Ack plugin in Vim

ackkeyboard shortcutsmacosvim

I'm new to vim and I'm trying to map a key combo for running the Ack plugin found here: https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim

I want to map cmd-shift-f to run the Ack command :Ack. I've added the following to ~/.vimrc

nmap <D-F> :Ack<space>

It doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using vim 7.3 within iTerm 2 on MacOS X.

The problem is that within <...> notation mappings, case is (mostly) insensitive, so you have to explicitly state you want to map with the shift key. Try this:

nmap <D-S-F> :Ack<space>
