A key with the Ctrl key modifier is represented using the <C-key> notation. For example Ctrl-R is represented using <C-R>. A key with the Shift key modifier is represented using the <S-key> notation. For example Shift-F2 is represented using <S-F2>. A key with the Alt key modifier is represented using <A-key> or <M-key> notation. You can combine one or more key modifiers. For example, to represent Ctrl+Shift+F3 you can use <C-S-F3>. Super is represented <D-key> in MacVim and <T-key> in gtk2 gvim. In gvim it doesn't work with all the keys.

The Vim key notation for other special characters is listed below:

<BS>           Backspace
<Tab>          Tab
<CR>           Enter
<Enter>        Enter
<Return>       Enter
<Esc>          Escape
<Space>        Space
<Up>           Up arrow
<Down>         Down arrow
<Left>         Left arrow
<Right>        Right arrow
<F1> - <F12>   Function keys 1 to 12
#1, #2..#9,#0  Function keys F1 to F9, F10
<Insert>       Insert
<Del>          Delete
<Home>         Home
<End>          End
<PageUp>       Page-Up
<PageDown>     Page-Down
<bar>          the '|' character, which otherwise needs to be escaped '\|'

<c-e> (More commonly described as <C-e>) is shorthand for "Control-e"
