.vimrc, multiple commands with :map

[Mirai]

How can multiple commands be mapped correctly to one key? Here is my .vimrc.

Only the first command, wrap or unwrap, is executed on either line when I hit F7 or F8 unless I execute the commands while editing my .vimrc. Then it raises an error that I don't know how to fix.

Thanks for any help.

use the pipe to separate commands:

map <f1> cmd1|cmd2|cmd3

biut i suggest to put all these commands
into a separate file and simply ":source file":

map <f1> :source file<cr>

enjoy!

Your issue is that some commands don't allow the bar "|" character
:h command -> search for -bar

The only way to cope with this is using the almighty exec..

exec "cmd" | exec "cmd"

You have to use <bar> instead of | in mappings

However if things get more complex it usually is best to define a
function and call that.
