Mapping nmap <C-W>| to ,\ in Vim

Question

I'm trying to create a key mapping for a Vim command which toggles full screen for split windows. The default command is <C-W>| and to return to normal split is <C-W>=.

I have tried to map:

• nnoremap ,\ <C-W><S-\>
• nmap ,\ <C-W><S-\>
• <leader>\ <C-W><S-\>

and none of them seems to work.

How can I create the key mapping?

Answer 1

I found the correct key mapping to solve my issue. <leader>\ <C-W>\|. What happened is that the | character it is special in vim, therefore I have to escaped the |.
