how to make vim's commands silent when editing remote file

Question

When I edit a remote file using e scp://... command, I need to press any key after each command and this frustrates me.

For example, when I hit w to save the file, the message "press enter or type command to continue" shows up. I do not want to see any message after any successful command.

I tried to map commands to make them silent but it did not work.

The netrw plugin has a lot of settings. The one you're looking for is:

let g:netrw_silent=1
