vim. How to use imap p to force vim to enter 'angle bracket'p?

Question

vim

That is, in my vimrc, I have:
imap p <p
When I enter p in the text, it should be entered. <p
The problem is that the angle bracket creates strange crashes in vim. Everything is ok without her.

Answer 1

Instead :imap, use :inoremap, so Vim won't think it p's the beginning of a key name.
