I observed this odd behavior by accident. If you have a map that
calls input(), and you execute the map using :normal command, you never
see the input prompt. Here is an example:

:nnoremap _ab :call input('ab')<CR>
:normal _ab


My suspicion is that command doesn't even get executed. If you change it
as below, it works fine:

:nnoremap _ab :nnoremap _ab :echomsg strftime('%c')." ab"<CR>
:normal _ab
03/29/2004 11:30:14  ab


Thanks,
Hari
