The only way I know of to do this is to execute an escape while in
normal mode.
normal \<Esc>
Here's a snippet from one of my scripts that uses this as part of
displaying an error message.
if &modified && (a:bang != "!")
if &errorbells
normal \<Esc> " Generate a bell
endif
echohl ErrorMsg
echo "No write since last change (use ! to override)"
echohl None
return
endif
