I've mapped CTRL+Meta+n to :split | resize 15 | term. This command works when run from Vim, but when I put the command in my .vimrc, on Vim startup, I get the following error:

zsh:1: parse error near '>'

[Process exited 1]

When removing the mapping, Vim starts normally.

    What exactly did you put in your vimrc? I think you probably want to use <Bar> instead of | in your mapping? See :help map-bar Sep 27, 2020 at 10:17
  • Adding <Bar> instead of | worked, thank you! Can you post your comment as an answer so I can accept it?

    Welcome to Vi and Vim! @MartinTournoij good catch, though I’m at a loss on zsh’s error (unless it’s launching term with the contents of vimrc?)
