How can I make shift+spacebar page up in Vim?

Asked 2008-11-11T03:54:25.397

I have an entry in my .vimrc which makes it page down the viewport when I hit the spacebar. It looks like this:

map <Space> <PageDown>

I want to create another key mapping which pages the viewport up when holding shift and hitting the spacebar. I have tried the following entries:

map <Shift><Space> <PageUp>
map <S-Space> <PageUp>

Neither work. Anybody know how to achieve this functionality?

You cannot. CMS's solution will work for gVim, but not in vim because terminals cannot distinguish between <Space> and <S-Space> because curses sees them the same. It might be possible in the future if vim gains libtermkey support and your terminal supports the proper <CSI> sequences (xterm does if properly configured; nothing else does yet).
