PrependTime()          return strftime("%c")      endfunction        See        :help map-<buffer>    You would just need to execute that mapping only in the one buffer  where you wanted that behavior.

Yes, that's what I wanted. Thanks a lot. Somehow I missed this.

If other buffers are throwing error E117, then you have <Enter>  (a.k.a. <CR>) mapped in buffers where it shouldn't be mapped.    Regards,  Gary  

After unmapping and remapping I checked everything works fine.

Thanks a lot everyone.
