I've been using Vim for a long time an unfortunately I've got very used to using <S-Space> to exit insert mode. Old habits die hard.

It seems when I put 

imap <S-Space> <Esc>

in my .xvimrc it ignores the Shift part as interprets it as just Space. I think some time ago I read somewhere that that's an issue with OSX (they just didn't think anybody will ever need to type a 'capital space').

The way I solved that with Vim in iTerm2 is just map a character I'll never use (✠) to <S-Space> in iTerm2 and then use that in my .vimrc.

Any idea how I can make <S-Space> work in XVim?

  • sounds like you already know this but [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5388562/cant-map-s-cr-in-vim) is a related question for future readers – rawr Aug 14 '15 at 20:17
  • yeah except that's a solution specific to iterm2. any idea of a workaround for xcode? – volny Aug 15 '15 at 03:33
  • Map your `` at OS level - to generate `` for all applications. You may like it ;) – VanLaser Aug 15 '15 at 12:02
  • What do you mean by 'map at OS level'? You can't do it in Settings>Keyboard, is there another way to map key combinations for OSX? – volny Aug 16 '15 at 04:49
