cscope not working with shortcuts in .vimrc file

Question

I am trying to add shortcuts to cscope usage by adding the following statements in .vimrc file.

" cscope mappings
if has("cscope")
nmap <C-\>s :scs find s <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR>
endif

I sourced the file using :so ~/.vimrc in the vim application.

However, when i click Ctrl+\ and s my terminal hangs. Please help. My shell is /usr/local/bin/tcsh

Thanks

Does it hang "forever" or just for a limited time? Does it work with `` only? — romainl, Nov 03 '12 at 21:59
It might be that Ctrl-S is somehow triggered (though it seems you're only pressing s unmodified), which locks the terminal. Try Ctrl-Q and if it unlocks the terminal, at least you know that's the culprit. — Vlad Dogaru, Nov 05 '12 at 09:50
Have you tried using the [cscope_maps.vim](http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_maps.vim) plugin? — tidbeck, Nov 15 '12 at 17:46

The reason it hangs might be because you are not pressing the mapping correctly. Press ctrl+\ then s .But you might be pressing ctrl+s that is causing the hang. To make sure if it's ctrl+s that is the culprit try ctrl+q see if terminal restores then you can proceed.
