Vim leader key mapping for zR?

Question

I've created many leader key mappings in my .vimrc file for commands that you enter after typing ":". For example,

map <Leader>sw :StripWhitespace<CR>

But how do you create a leader key mapping in .vimrc for a command that you like "zR" which opens all folds? This isn't a command that you would type ":" before entering it.

Answer 1

You create it in much the same way: leader combination, followed by the key combination you want it to map to. There's nothing particularly special about the ex command mappings. So for example, I have Ctrl - ^ mapped to leader p :

map <Leader>p <C-^>

because it's a particularly annoying combination to reach on my split keyboard. In your case, I imagine you'd use:

map <Leader>ff zR

Obviously, f f is just an example binding. You don't need a <CR> because you don't need one when typing the command in normal mode either.
