Various commands

:comp:completions
:comp[letions] {ex-command}

List the completion results for a given command substring.

: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 c_<Tab> 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
:norm[al][!] {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
:mks[yntax][!] [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 pentadactyl.vim in that directory is used. An existing file will never be overwritten unless [bang] is given.

<redraw-screen><C-l>CTRL-L:redr:redraw
:redr[aw]

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
:sil[ent] {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
:[count]verb[ose] {command}

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

:ve:version
:ve[rsion][!]

Print Pentadactyl and Firefox version information. When [!] is provided, show the Firefox version page.

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