Unmapping the global mappings on a per-buffer basis












2














I have the following mapping in tnoremap <Esc> <C-><C-n> init.conf to exit insert mode while in the terminal.
In certain terminal buffers I would like to not have that global mapping applied.



The command :tunmap <buffer> <Esc> doesn't effect globally set mappings.



The command :tunmap <buffer> will remove the mapping for all buffers.



Is there a way to not apply global config to a certain buffer only?

    Would that work? tnoremap <buffer> <ESC> <ESC>?

You could overwrite the mapping by a buffer-local mapping. Just map <ESC> to <ESC>:



tnoremap <buffer> <ESC> <ESC>
