Save and source and vimscript with a keymap..

[Sonny Chee]

Hey Guys,

I would like to save the current file (a vim script) and source it simultaneously. The following works in normal mode.

:w % | :source %

However, when I attempt to define a mapping for it in my .vimrc I get an error message (Error detected while processing .vimrc)

nnoremap <leader>s :w % | source %<cr>

Any help would be appreciated.

You must escape bar: this command is read as

nnoremap <Leader>s :w %<Space>
source %<cr>

. There are three variants of escaping:

1. `\|`.
2. `^V|` where `^V` is *literal* 0x16 byte.
3. `<Bar>`.

I usually use the first or the third.
