Well, you could write your mapping to a file, and source that file
when needed; but unless it is a rather complex "do this and that" it
might be simpler to simply type the :map command at the command line,
or as argument to the -c command-line switch.
For a complex mappinf (written to ./mymapping.vim)
(g)vim -c "source ./mymapping.vim"
would, I suppose, do the trick. (Vim accepts forward slashes as path
separators on all platforms including Windows, or backslashes on
Windows only.)
see
:help :source
:help -c
Best regards,
Tony.
