Add commands executed in mappings to the command history

10 years ago

The command history only records actual commands, not those that are executed in mappings. This template gives us the possibility to build a command and add it to the command history before executing it.

" template                ||||| <--- customize this part
map <key> :<C-u>let cmd = 'foo'<bar>call histadd("cmd", cmd)<bar>execute cmd<CR>

" example:
xnoremap [I "vy:<C-u>let cmd = 'ilist /' . @v<bar>call histadd("cmd", cmd)<bar>execute cmd<CR>:
