= Execute-keys and Evaluate-commands *execute-keys* [] ...:: Run keys as if they were pressed. *evaluate-commands* [] ...:: 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 <>) == Switches for both commands *-client* :: Execute in the context of the client *name*. *-try-client* :: 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* :: 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 <>) *-save-regs* :: *regs* is a string of registers to be restored after execution (overwrites the list of registers saved by default). == Switches specific to *evaluate-commands* *-no-hooks*:: Disable hook execution while executing the keys/commands. (See <>) *-verbatim*:: Don't reparse and split positional arguments. Forward them exactly as specified. == Switches specific to *execute-keys* *-with-maps*:: Use a custom key mapping instead of the built-in one. (See <>) *-with-hooks*:: Execute keys and trigger existing hooks. (See <>)
