There are five sets of mappings
- For Normal mode: When typing commands.
- For Visual mode: When typing commands while the Visual area is highlighted.
- For Operator-pending mode: When an operator is pending (after "d", "y", "c",
- etc.). Example: ":omap { w" makes "y{" work like "yw" and "d{" like "dw".

- For Insert mode. These are also used in Replace mode.
- For Command-line mode: When entering a ":" or "/" command.

+ *omap-info*
+Operator-pending mappings can be used to define a movement command that can be
+used with any operator. Simple example: ":omap { w" makes "y{" work like "yw"
+and "d{" like "dw".

+To ignore the starting cursor position and select different text, you can have

+that operates on a function name in the current line: >
+ onoremap <silent> F :<C-U>normal! 0f(hviw<CR>
+The CTRL-U (<C-U>) is used to remove the range that Vim may insert. The
+Normal mode commands find the first '(' character and select the first word
+before it. That usually is the function name.

first define it for all three modes, then unmap it for Operator-pending mode:

The mapping for <M-C> is defined with the latin1 encoding, resulting in a 0xc3
-byte. If you type the character á (0xea <M-a>) in UTF-8 encoding this is the
+byte. If you type the character á (0xe1 <M-a>) in UTF-8 encoding this is the
