I just wanted to add that you can Ctrl-v Enter to produce the ^M at the end. This way it inputs and executes the command for you. It could be like this if you want it to press Enter for you: map q !}fmt^M I like joining lines before using fmt on a single line, hence the '.'. I had forgotten about the '}' motion and may need to incorporate that. I also did not know that the ':' can be omitted. I currently use: map gq :.!fmt -w 72^M map q0 :.!fmt -w 77^M map q1 :.!fmt -w 69^M map q2 :.!fmt -w 61^M map q3 :.!fmt -w 53^M map qq :.!fmt -w 80^M
