Can tab be remapped in nvi?












0















I want to map tab in nvi(1). When I try to map a literal tab by typing Ctrl+V then Tab, it does not get rendered as ^I and nvi(1) shows "Usage: map[!] [keys replace]". Can tab be remapped in nvi?

          To map tab, you have to use ^V twice e.g. type ":map " then Ctrl+VCtrl+VTab.
