Neovim feedkeys ​

Simulate user input in Lua ​

Use vim.api.nvim_feedkeys().

Takes three arguments:

  • keys: keys to be typed in.
  • mode: "m" for as though from a mapping, "t" for as though typed.
  • escape_ks: whether to escape K_SPECIAL (0x80)

To clarify escape_ks, see this Neovim issue.

Get internal representation of a keycode ​

Use vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes().

Takes in four arguments:

  • str: The keycode to replace ("<CR>", "<Esc>", "<C-o>", ...)
  • from_part: Legacy vim param, should be true
  • do_lt: Also translate <lt>.
  • special: Also replace special keycodes. See :h keycodes

Note

lt means lesser than

Example:

lua
local cr = vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes("<CR>", true, true, true)

# Simulate pressing the enter key
vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(cr, "t", false)
