using map to create shortcut in gvim doesn't work

Question

I've added the following line to my .gvimrc file:

map <F3> /[1-9] 

I want F3 key to search for any sequence in the form of (1 Error, 3 Errors....).

For some reason it doesn't work.

Answer 1

you need a Enter at the end of your mapping:

nnoremap <F3> /[1-9] <cr>

This will search for a single digit (1-9) and with a space followed.
