Re: what does & mean in the vim command?

The f after <F6> and with no space between them means that the f is
part of the {lhs} (q.v.): when you type F6 followed by f, Vim will
execute the command :!firefox etc., starting Firefox and (as said
above) not waiting for it to finish.

Best regards,
Tony.
