Weird output from ls command in Terminal

Question

I recently started customising my Mac terminal and adding Vim stuff. After some time I noticed that when executing ls command, I keep getting:

)<CR>?vnoremap <Space> zf??

along-with regular ls command output. For example:

$ ls
)<CR>?vnoremap <Space> zf?? Documents                   Movies                      Public
Applications                Downloads                   Music                       Workspace
Desktop                     Library                     Pictures

I have no idea where it is coming from. It happens only in ls command and it happens in both built-in Terminal.app and iTerm2 (zsh shell).

I have tried grep-ing <Space> pattern (etc.) in my Home directory, but there is no file with such string.

Answer 1

noremap - command from vim, so when saving file, the name has been assigned. A detailed ls would help or installing something like Midnight Commander, which runs with as simple mc command and helps to evaluate it visually.

Answer 2

Here are the terminal commands for working with the file. the backslash \ is a way to escape special characters. The tab key will expand the filename.

so you type ls \( then you press the tab key. the ls the l is a lower case L

the rm is the remove command. You need to be careful when using this command. the files deleted are gone forever!

I'll put a space between the r and m, but you need to remove the space. The -i says to verify the delete. be certain not to have any other funny characters in the rm line. you cannot see it, but I typed ls ( then pressed the tab key.

mac $ touch \(abc
mac $ ls
(abc          duplicateOne  one           subdirD.app/  three         two
mac $ ls \(abc 
(abc
mac $ r m -i \(abc 
remove (abc? y
