= Execute-keys and Evaluate-commands
|
||
|
||
*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 <<registers#,`:doc registers`>>)
|
||
|
||
== Switches for both commands
|
||
|
||
*-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 <<buffers#debug-buffers, `:doc buffers`>>)
|
||
|
||
*-save-regs* <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 <<hooks#disabling-hooks,`:doc hooks`>>)
|
||
|
||
*-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 <<mapping#,`:doc mapping`>>)
|
||
|
||
*-with-hooks*::
|
||
Execute keys and trigger existing hooks.
|
||
(See <<hooks#,`:doc hooks`>>)
