    saves the file

    Let’s you input multiple commands, e.g. :foo|:bar, is the same as :foo, hitting return, :bar. The \ is to escape it in the map.

    :!
    

    Runs the shell command specified, in this case ruby test_spec.rb.

    <CR>
    

    Carriage return (e.g. the enter or return key).

    So when you hit ,t, it saves your file, and runs the command ruby test_spec.rb.
