How to combine a few commands in one shortcut in vim/neovim?

Question

I try to create a shortcut in my Neovim config:

map <F3> :ALEFix<CR> :update<CR>

or

map<F3> :ALEFix<bar> :update<CR>

but when I press F3 command, the shortcuts are not executed at the same time. By first press goes ALEFix and by second update. How can I create shortcut which will run ALEFix and update one after another by one press?

`\|` doesn't work if `b` is in `cpoptions`. `^V|` should always work (see `:help map-bar`). But the cleanest solution is probably just to create a function that does both things, then map the `` to that function. — Das_Geek, Feb 27 '20 at 16:18

Check Neovim vim.keymap.set()

vim.keymap.set("n","<F3>",function ()
    vim.cmd.ALEFix() --assuming a prebuilt cmd
    vim.cmd.update() -- will need to route to your actual cmd
end)

This is the format you're looking for.

For example in my lua file:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>te",function ()
    vim.cmd.tabnew()
    vim.cmd.terminal()
end)

Which allow me to hit + t + e to open a new tab and terminal.
