Various commands

:comp :completions :completions ex-command

List the completion results for a given command substring.

:completions :set! browser.tabs. :contexts :contexts ex-command

Lists the completion contexts used during the completion of its arguments. These context names may be used to tune the function of the completion system via options like autocomplete and wildcase. Note that completion must be triggered in order for this command to be effective, so if auto-completion is not active, you'll need to press the key at least once. You should also be aware that this command is only useful from the command line.

:fk :feedkeys feedkeys! keys

Fake key events. If ! is given, key remappings are ignored, similarly to the :map command's -builtin option.

-mode: The mode in which to feed the keys (short name -m)

:norm :normal :normal! keys

Execute key mappings for keys as if they were typed in Normal mode. If ! is provided, only builtin key mappings are executed. This makes it possible to fake Normal mode key presses from scripts, key mappings, autocommands, and the command line.

:mks :mksyntax :mksyntax! path

Generate a Vim syntax file. If path is not given, the local Vim runtime path is guessed. If path is a directory, the file &dactyl.name;.vim in that directory is used. An existing file will never be overwritten unless bang is given.

:redr :redraw]]>

:redraw

Redraws the screen. Useful for updating the screen during the execution of a script or function.

:run :! :!cmd :!cmd

Run an external command. Runs cmd through system() and displays its output. Any ‘!’ in cmd is replaced with the previous external command, so long as it is not preceded by a backslash and banghist is enabled.

:!! :!!

Repeat last :!cmd.

:sil :silent :silent command

Execute a command silently. Normal messages and error messages generated by the command invocation will not be displayed and will not be added to the message history.

:verb :verbose :countverbose command

Execute a command with verbose set to count. If count is not specified then 1 is used.

:ve :version :version!

Print &dactyl.appName; and &dactyl.host; version information. When ! is provided, show the &dactyl.host; version page.

:yank :y :y[ank] :cmd :y[ank] js

Yanks the output of the given Ex command cmd or JavaScript js to the clipboard.
