Help for :map-<silent> says that with <silent>, the right side of
a mapping will not be echoed on the command line, but messages from
the executed command are still given. This works with :nmap but not
with :vmap. I would expect it to work with :vmap as well.
Steps to reproduce
1. Put the following in a file, say foo.vim.
nmap <silent> gx :call DebugSilent()<CR>
vmap <silent> gx :call DebugSilent()<CR>
function DebugSilent()
echomsg "from DebugSilent"
endfunction
2. Start vim and source that file.
$ vim -N --clean
:so foo.vim
3. Enter some word into the current buffer.
4. Visually select that word.
viw
5. Type the mapping.
gx
6. Note that no message appears, or just flashes by briefly.
7. Execute :messages to verify that the message was generated and
saved in message history.
8. Without visually selecting the word, type the mapping.
gx
9. Note that the message does appear in the command line and
remains there.
Expected behavior
I expect the message to remain in the command line after the
execution of the vmap just as it does for a normal map.
