This does seem to do some pseudo-intelligent handling based on how many characters are present. This could probably be improved to require escaped commas. > - ';' and '\' needs to be double-escaped > set langmap=\\a -> E357 > set langmap=\\\\a -> ok > set langmap=\;a -> E357 > set langmap=\\;a -> ok As noted in ":help option-backslash", backslashes need to be doubled if they're to be considered literal. Your experimentation reflects this properly. > - '"' needs to be escaped too > set langmap="a -> no error, it just does not work > set langmap=\"a -> ok " is Vim's comment character which is why the first one does nothing and the second one works as expected.
