Oh, sorry, I wasn't sure anyone really cared.
Read the above like so:
: -> go to command mode
map -> define a keystroke mapping
^V -> (control+V) escape the next character (i.e., don't interpret yet)
^P -> (control+P) the keystroke were binding
0 -> go to the start of the current line (column 0)
a -> append (insert) mode
-> append a space
^V -> escape the next character
^[ -> the escape keycode (just hit escape) to go to edit mode
/ -> start a search
^[0-9][A-Z] -> pattern we're looking for (digit + uppercase at start of line)
^V -> escape the next character
^M -> (control+M) CR, or "return" keystroke, which ends the search
pattern and performs the search
