the executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a
":silent" in the executed command: >
:map <silent> ,h :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR>
+Note that the effect of a command might also be silenced, e.g., when the
+mapping selects another entry for command line completion it won't be
+displayed.
Prompts will still be given, e.g., for inputdialog().
Using "<silent>" for an abbreviation is possible, but will cause redrawing of
the command line to fail.
