I have added this line in .vimrc so that pressing ctrl-s saves the current file:nmap <C-s> :w!<cr>:imap <C-s> <esc>:w!<cr>But this is not working. Any suggestions about what I am doing wrong?

See this wikia.com article for the exact thing you're tyring to do: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_Ctrl-S_to_save_current_or_new_filesIn a nutshell you need to do the following.1. Add this to ~/.vimrc If the current buffer has never been saved, it will have no name, call the file browser to save it, otherwise just save it.nnoremap <silent> <C-S> :if expand(%) == <CR>browse confirm w<CR>else<CR>confirm w<CR>endif<CR>2. Disable terminal's interpretation of Ctrl+S# bash# No ttyctl, so we need to save and then restore terminal settingsvim(){    local ret STTYOPTS=$(stty -g)    stty -ixon    command vim $@    ret=$?    stty $STTYOPTS    return $ret}# zshvim() STTY=-ixon command vim $@
