After the user leaves (closes) Vim, the keys aren't mapped anymore.
Starting Vim without the appropriate -c or -S command-line switch will
simply not load it.

If you want a mapping to be loaded every time a user starts Vim, it is
possible too, but then you should create a global plugin or (if the
mapping is defined with <buffer>, to be used only for one filetype) a
filetype-plugin.

See
:help 'runtimepath', and in particular
:help after-directory
:help write-plugin
:help add-global-plugin
:help add-filetype-plugin

This is of course for mappings you want to distribute. Your private
ones you can of course just write into your vimrc.

Best regards,
Tony.
