Consider something like this

nnoremap <silent> <leader>( F(a<cr><esc>vi(:execute"'<^Uexecute"'<,'>s/,/,\r/gg"<cr>=i(k$%i,<cr><esc>%:nohlsearch<cr>

It expands arguments of a function in lines. (You can run it on (a, b, c, d) for example.) The problem is things happen in front of my eyes while I expect it to happen in background and only show me the final result. I just thought maybe there's a way to make vim do some commands in background and just show the final result on screen.

Ability to make vim run commands in background and only show the final result on screen
