This is a bug which I have actually informed Hari of a while ago, but perhaps my bug email got lost :)
The default mapping for LookupFile is F5. What this error message means is that you already have a mapping for F5 in your .vimrc file, and you haven't specified a mapping for <Plug>LookupFile. In this situations, LookupFile will try to map F5 to <Plug>LookupFile, which fails with the error message that you get. This is annoying, and this is my work around for it until Hari fixes it. All you need is the final line, some random unused mapping to <Plug>LookupFile, and that will stop the error from firing. :map <silent> <F7> :LookupFile<CR> " enter LookupFile explicitly :map <silent> <S-F7> :LUWalk<CR> " enter LUWalk explicitly :map <silent> <C-F7> :LUPath<CR> " enter LUPath explicitly :imap <silent> <F7> <esc><Plug>LookupFile " exit LookupFile :map <silent> <S-C-A-F8> <Plug>LookupFile " something random to remove the error!
