Question

I’ve been trying to create a command for Brett Terpstra’s Marked app. Unfortunately I can’t get it to work. On the Marked Bonus Pack page is an example for a Vim mapping and Marked, but I’d prefer to type :Marked to open the current file in Marked.
How am I going to do that? Adding:

command! Marked :silent open -a Marked.app '%:p'<cr>

to .vimrc doesn’t work. (Without silent Vim gives a “file does not exist” error upon execution.)

Thanks for any help guys.

% is not expanded in command. You need to use expand instead. (see :help expand)

Something like that

command! Marked :silent open -a "Marked.app" expand("%:p")

I don’t think you need the : (in front of silent) neither the <cr>. You are defining a command not a mapping, so you don’t need to enter in command mode.
