In mappings you must either escape the | or use <Bar>. map <f9> :new\|:r #\|:1d map <f9> :new<Bar>:r #<Bar>:1d Otherwise, Vim sees this as: map <F9> :new Followed by a separate :r # command. Actually, this is best written without the redundant : characters, and you will need to end command-line mode with <CR>: map <f9> :new\|r #\|1d<CR> -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
