the problem is with the combination of <CR> and <bar> in your mapping. The <CR> will execute the :write command. After that Vim is in normal mode, where <bar> is a command to put the cursor in a specified column, i.e. 10| would put the cursor in column 10. Because <bar> stands on its own in your mapping the cursor is put in the first column. You only need either <CR> or <bar> between two commands on the right side of your mapping. You can write it either as nnoremap <leader>md :write<bar>silent !open -a 'Marked.app' '%:p'<CR> or as nnoremap <leader>md :write<CR>:silent !open -a 'Marked.app' '%:p'<CR> Regards, Jürgen -- Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
