doc.kak now behaves as a basic asciidoc renderer. Asciidoc is unfortunately still a dependency to generate the manpage of the `kak` command.

= Exec and Eval
|
||
|
||
== Description
|
||
|
||
The *exec* and *eval* commands can be used to run Kakoune commands, and
|
||
should be used as follows:
|
||
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
exec [<flags>] <key> ...
|
||
eval [<flags>] <command> ...
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
*exec* runs keys as if they were pressed, whereas *eval* executes its given
|
||
parameters as if they were entered in the command prompt. By default, their
|
||
execution happens within the context of the current client, and stops when
|
||
the last key/command is reached, or an error is raised.
|
||
|
||
These two commands also save the following registers, who are then restored
|
||
when the commands have been executed: */*, *"*, *|*, *^*, *@*.
|
||
|
||
== Optional flags
|
||
|
||
*-client* <name>::
|
||
execute in the context of the client named *name*
|
||
|
||
*-try-client* <name>::
|
||
execute in the context of the client named *name* if such client
|
||
exists, or else in the current context
|
||
|
||
*-draft*::
|
||
execute in a copy of the context of the selected client. Modifications
|
||
to the selections or input state will not affect the client. This
|
||
permits to make some modification to the buffer without modifying
|
||
the user’s selection
|
||
|
||
*-itersel*::
|
||
execute once per selection, in a context with only the considered
|
||
selection. This permits avoiding cases where the selections may
|
||
get merged
|
||
|
||
*-buffer* <names>::
|
||
execute in the context of each buffers in the comma separated list
|
||
*names*, as a name can be used to iterate on all buffers
|
||
|
||
*-no-hooks*::
|
||
disable hook execution while executing the keys/commands
|
||
|
||
*-with-maps*::
|
||
use user key mapping in instead of built in keys (*exec* only)
|
||
|
||
*-save-regs* <regs>::
|
||
regs is a string of registers to be restored after execution (overwrites
|
||
the list of registers saved by default, c.f. description)
|
||
|
||
*-collapse-jumps*::
|
||
collapse all jumps into a single one from initial selection
