Vim - How do I use a key mapping command like ?

Question

I'm almost certain that someone else has also had this question, and this may be a repeat, but I'm not sure what to call a command like `` and so I haven't had any luck finding an existing question. If this is a duplicate, please redirect me. The question arises from a vimrc section that reads like this: ``` " Map (redraw screen) to also turn off search highlighting until the " next search nnoremap :nohl

``` So what combination of keys do I press (in which mode) to input a `` mapping?

Accepted Answer

in this line: ``` nnoremap :nohl

``` `nnoremap` means `normal no-recursive map ...` which means, if you press `ctrl + l` in `NORMAL` mode, the mapped key-strokes would be applied. `` means `ctrl + l` if you type ``` :h control ``` you can see the keycodes: ``` control-key *control* *ctrl* *
