Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Move <CR> to the end of mapping. You are trying to execute redraw after you exited command mode. Of course, it does not work.

Thanks, but simply moving <CR> to the end causes Vim to complain that there are "trailing characters". Sorry for not being fluent in Vim mapping syntax.

@Dominique Yes, I forgot that you need to escape `|` in a map. Correct syntax is `noremap <F6> :silent execute openpdfname \| redraw!<CR>`: without backslash it is similar to two commands: `map` and `redraw`, while you need a single `map`. When you move `<CR>` to the end it complains about trailing characters to `redraw!` which does not take any arguments..

Answer 2

A:

The correct syntax that does what I expect is:

map <F6> :silent execute openpdfname<CR>:redraw!<CR>
