How do you make Vim key mappings similar to ZZ?

Question

In Vim you can save all your files and quit by typing ZZ . How can I create a similar mapping but for a different key? Some keys like h , j , k , and l it seems like this would not be possible. Are there any keys that you could do a similar mapping to ZZ ?

Answer 1

Derobert is correct. There is nothing special about the ZZ type of key combination.

For example, you can create a key shortcut to save all your files without quitting when you type "__" (two underscores) by putting the following in your .vimrc:

nmap __ :wa<CR>
