mapset({dict})
Restore a mapping from a dictionary, possibly returned by
|maparg()| or |maplist()|. A buffer mapping, when dict.buffer
is true, is set on the current buffer; it is up to the caller
to insure that the intended buffer is the current buffer. This
feature allows copying mappings from one buffer to another.
The dict.mode value may restore a single mapping that covers
more than one mode, like with mode values of '!', ' ', 'nox',
or 'v'. *E1276*
In the first form, {mode} and {abbr} should be the same as
for the call to |maparg()|. *E460*
{mode} is used to define the mode in which the mapping is set,
not the "mode" entry in {dict}.

< Note that if you are going to replace a map in several modes,
e.g. with `:map!`, you need to save the mapping for all of
them, since they can differ.

In the second form, with {dict} as the only argument, mode
and abbr are taken from the dict.
