GVim under win7 <leader> key doesn't work

Question

Searched around but couldn't find any question that share same symptom with mine:

Fresh installed GVim under win7, installed EasyMotion with default setting. Thing is the key never worked, it always give the beep when I press "\\". So I map it to other key like this:

let mapleader = ";" 

But still when press ";" key, it only give the beep and no other response, I'm almost give up after 2 hours...

Answer 1

Not sure, but your mapleader is ; (semicolon) and you say that you are typing , (comma).

I have

let mapleader=","
nmap ,p "*p

(and a bunch more maps). When I type ,p I get clipboard paste.

Another thought would be to unistall gvim, unistall EasyMotion and reinstall gvim without EasyMotion (not sure what that is).

Answer 2

The reason why EasyMotion wasn't wake up was due to my wrong installation. Instead of copy the whole un-zipped folder's content into vim's plugin folder, I picked up the individual file "EasyMotion.vim" which cause the problem.

After I delete the file, and copy the who EasyMotion folder into vim's plugin folder, OMG, it just worked:) cheers~~
