Remap the scroll up command in vim

Question

I want to remap the Ctrl + y command in vim (scroll up command) to Ctrl + q. I tried to do :map <C-q> <C-y>
But it does not seem to work... Do you have any suggestion ?

Answer 1

Does this only affect the Linux terminal (not GVIM), and also Ctrl + S? Then, you need to disable the terminal's flow control commands, by putting the following into your ~/.bashrc:

stty start undef stop undef

^{PS: You should use :noremap; it makes the mapping immune to remapping and recursion.}
