= Execute-keys and Evaluate-commands
|
||
|
||
== Description
|
||
|
||
The *execute-keys* and *evaluate-commands* commands can be used to run
|
||
Kakoune commands:
|
||
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
execute-keys [<switches>] <key> ...
|
||
evaluate-commands [<switches>] <command> ...
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
*execute-keys* runs keys as if they were pressed, whereas *evaluate-commands*
|
||
evaluates its given parameters as if they were entered in the command prompt.
|
||
By default, their execution happens within the context of the current client,
|
||
and stops when the last key/command is reached, or an error is raised.
|
||
|
||
*execute-keys* also save the following registers, who are then restored
|
||
when the commands have been executed: */*, *"*, *|*, *^*, *@*.
|
||
*evaluate-commands* does not save any registers by default.
|
||
(See <<registers#,`:doc registers`>>)
|
||
|
||
== Optional switches
|
||
|
||
*-client* <name>::
|
||
execute in the context of the client named *name*
|
||
|
||
*-try-client* <name>::
|
||
execute in the context of the client named *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 to make some modification to the buffer without modifying
|
||
the user’s selection
|
||
|
||
*-itersel*::
|
||
execute once per selection, in a context with only the considered
|
||
selection. This permits avoiding cases where the selections may
|
||
get merged
|
||
|
||
*-buffer* <names>::
|
||
execute in the context of each buffers in the comma separated list
|
||
*names*. `*` as a name can be used to iterate on all buffers
|
||
|
||
*-no-hooks*::
|
||
disable hook execution while executing the keys/commands
|
||
(See <<hooks#,`:doc hooks`>>)
|
||
|
||
*-save-regs* <regs>::
|
||
regs is a string of registers to be restored after execution (overwrites
|
||
the list of registers saved by default, c.f. description)
|
||
|
||
== execute-keys specific switches
|
||
|
||
*-with-maps*::
|
||
use user key mapping in instead of built in keys
|
||
(See <<mapping#,`:doc mapping`>>)
