You are right. Thanks for your patience. I cannot reproduce this dependency on the function residing in the autoload folder. So in the end the explanation given at :help E523 was a red herring. I erroneously thought of <expr> mappings and expression register mappings as equivalent but found the former more easily readable. I don't know if there are situations when an <expr> mapping cannot be reproduced by an equivalent expression register mapping, or if there are other instances when the normal command is impossible. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
