Here's an excerpt from my `~/.vimrc`, which I implemented following the very good "remap nothing" idea from the already [existing answer][1] provided by @the_velour_fog, but I improved the idea and the implementation further to be almost something like "change nothing", as described below: ``` " Display a list of marks and allow their easy selection, without " remapping any keys or changing the original vim behavior, down " to the error messages produced for unknown marks function ListSelect(command, jump) execute a:command echohl Question echo "Enter mark (ESC to cancel): " echohl NONE let mark = nr2char(getchar()) redraw if mark !=# "\e" try execute "normal! g" .. a:jump .. mark catch echohl ErrorMsg echo substitute(v:exception, "^Vim(.*):", "", "") echohl NONE endtry endif endfunction nnoremap <silent> ' :call ListSelect("marks", "'")<CR> nnoremap <silent> ` :call ListSelect("marks", "`")<CR> ``` As described in the vimscript code, this version retains the ability to use <kbd>Esc</kbd> to cancel the whole operation, and still produces the same error messages for unknown marks, without throwing "executing function failed" errors at the user. This version also produces a prompt message that looks just like all such messages produced by `vim` itself, furthering the "change nothing" approach. [1]: https://vi.stackexchange.com/a/9746/48490
