How can I make shift+spacebar page up in Vim?

Question

I have an entry in my .vimrc which makes it page down the viewport when I hit the spacebar. It looks like this:

map <Space> <PageDown>

I want to create another key mapping which pages the viewport up when holding shift and hitting the spacebar. I have tried the following entries:

map <Shift><Space> <PageUp>
map <S-Space> <PageUp>

Neither work. Anybody know how to achieve this functionality?

Answer 1

Use this:

map <Space> ^D   " Pagedown when press Space
map <S-Space> ^U " Page Up when press Shift Space

To get the ^D and ^U symbol correctly just press Control-V Control-D, and Control-V Control-U

Answer 2

You cannot. CMS's solution will work for gVim, but not in vim because terminals cannot distinguish between <Space> and <S-Space> because curses sees them the same. It might be possible in the future if vim gains libtermkey support and your terminal supports the proper <CSI> sequences (xterm does if properly configured; nothing else does yet).

im in win xp . vim 7.3 , map space 5j , works . but s-space dont works , i dont know why ? is it some setting overlap them ? ..................... i use noremap s-space 5k , it works . and i think some plugins maybe overlap this function . noremap it cool . but i still dont know the reason .
