mapping error.

[sinbad]

Hi,

I'm trying to map <space>x in normal mode to do send a command to a pane in tmux.

sudo tmux send-keys -t "1" C-z "test"

I tried the following. wrote the above command in a test.sh file and made a mapping as below.

:nnoremap <Space>x 'silent :!./test.sh<C-m>'

I'm getting the following error.

E20: Mark not set

i think it's due to the following mapping.

n ' & :call Showmarks() <CR>

Isn't nnoremap disable recursive mapping ?

thanks

AFAICS recursive mapping /is/ disabled head. You're getting the error message
because Vim tries to jump to a mark s when hitting the first tick (') in the
right-hand side of your mapping. Furthermore, silent is AFAIK a command line
command, so your colon is misplaced. Untested:

:nnoremap <space>x :silent\ !./test.sh<c-m>

The backslash is for escaping the space.

Ah, the backslash gives another error (E10).

:nnoremap <space>x :silent !./test.sh<c-m>

Should do the trick.
