feedkeys \<cr> Enter key

[Ni Va]

Hi,

In order to easily test command I have mapped this following.

feedkeys enters well WEATHER chars but not <Enter> key.

nnoremap <F5> :!start gvim -c "call feedkeys(':WEATHER\<cr>')"<cr>

Surround feedkeys()'s argument in double, not single, quotes.

Life.

gives me error

[Lifepillar]

Try: ... 'call feedkeys(":WEATHER\<cr>")'<cr>
i.e., use single quotes for the outer quoting.

Life.

It results in that, I think double quote is needed to embrace call feedkey and inside double single quote ''

"D:/Logiciels/Vim/feedkeys(:WEATHER/" Illegal file name

The problem is that this is inside a mapping. I haven't tried it, but
most likely the mapping will eat the backslash. Either leave out the
backslash, so the mapping converts it to a real CR, or add another
backslash.

Quoting on the command line in Windows is nasty. I suggest to put the
command into a vim script file and source that using the -u command line
or similar.

Best,

Ok thank you.

Best mapping I have done is that one even if I have to enter <Enter> key

nnoremap <F5> :!start gvim -c "call feedkeys(':WEATHER')"<cr>
