Hello, How can I open a command line prompt from script, print a command there and leave it open so I can continue typing it and then press Enter myself. Sounds simple, but I've been searching for a solution for long, yet haven't lost my hope. That's a ruff example of what it would look like:
function! foo() " start command line mode, print there ':echo "hello"' and that's it endfunction map <F12> :call foo()<CR> So when I press F12 it opens a command line with: :echo "hello"<cursor here> and I still can continue typing, I don't want it to be executed immediately. :) I could use this: map <F12> :echo "hello" but my real function has to do some stuff before it gets a ready command to print out, that makes it very hard or even impossible to retype the whole thing to single mapping. -- Aarto -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
