Description
Summary
Hi, I'm a vim novice, so I'm not sure why this error comes up and I haven't found a comprehensive solution on the internet so far. Upon creating the plugins remap.lua, using :so to source the file returns E471: Argument required.

Issue
Command used: :so
Location: File remap.lua
Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
:)

Research direction
Start with the reported :so command and remap.lua, then consult Vim's :help :source documentation to confirm the required argument and file path syntax. Done means the remap.lua file can be sourced without E471; the issue does not mention a test or another project entry point.
