A couple of comments: * I'm not entirely sure why ^s doesn't resolve to Ctrl-S, but I would generally use the <C-s> form. * Ctrl-S is a terminal command meaning "stop terminal output", so you probably won't be able to use it in Vim. * You'll need to get your mapping to do a Carriage Return at the end of the command, otherwise you'll have to manually press Enter every time. Give this a go (for Ctrl-x, running the output of `ls`): :map <C-x> :%!ls<CR> You can add this into your ~/.vimrc file (create a new one if it doesn't exist), to auto-load vim options on startup.
