NAME

hooks - a
Description
-----------
Commands can be registered to be executed when certain events arise. To
register a hook use the following command:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
hook [-group <group>] <scope> <hook_name> <filtering_regex> <commands>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*scope* can be one of *global*, *buffer* or *window* (c.f. the
'scopes' documentation page).
*command* is a string containing the commands to execute when the hook
is called.
For example to automatically use line numbering with .cc files, use the
following command:
----------------------------------------------------
hook global WinCreate .*\.cc %{ addhl number_lines }
----------------------------------------------------
if *group* is given, make this hook part of the named group. Groups are used
for removing hooks with the following command:
-----------------------
rmhooks <scope> <group>
-----------------------
A call to the command above will remove every hooks in *scope* that are part
of the given *group*.
