- execute-keys [<switches>] <key> …
-
Run keys as if they were pressed.
- evaluate-commands [<switches>] <command> …
-
Evaluate specified commands as if they were entered into the command prompt.
By default, the execution of both commands happens within the context of the current client, and stops when the last key/command is reached or an error occurs.
Without the -save-regs switch, execute-keys saves the following registers, which
are then restored when the keys have been executed: /, ", |, ^,
@, :. evaluate-commands doesn’t save any registers by default.
(See :doc registers)
- -client <name>
-
Execute in the context of the client name.
- -try-client <name>
-
Execute in the context of the client name if such client exists, or else in the current context.
- -draft
-
Execute in a copy of the context of the selected client. Modifications to the selections or input state will not affect the client. This permits making modifications to the buffer without modifying the user’s selection.
- -itersel
-
Execute once per selection, each having its own context. This prevents situations where selections get merged.
- -buffer <names>
-
Execute in the context of each buffer specified in the comma separated list names. '*' can be used as a *name* to iterate over all non-debug buffers. (See
:doc buffers) - -save-regs <regs>
-
regs is a string of registers to be restored after execution (overwrites the list of registers saved by default).
- -no-hooks
-
Disable hook execution while executing the keys/commands. (See
:doc hooks) - -verbatim
-
Don’t reparse and split positional arguments. Forward them exactly as specified.
- -with-maps
-
Use a custom key mapping instead of the built-in one. (See
:doc mapping) - -with-hooks
-
Execute keys and trigger existing hooks. (See
:doc hooks)
When using evaluate-commands a new scope, named local is inserted.
