Here’s a simple mapping that selects the current indentation block and indents it on level, then it re-selects it.
map global normal L '<a-i>i><a-i>i' -docstring 'move right'
But when I try to do the same thing with the <
mapping:
map global normal H '<a-i>i<<a-i>i' -docstring 'move left'
I get the following error:
'map' unable to parse modifier in '<<a-i>'
It also doesn’t work when I try to do something like \<
or use %{}
Note: This is obviously a non-sensical example because I already have what I want selected.
