How to map keystrokes to a command in vim?
For example, I would like to create a custom command Cmt, and I could use it to comment out lines 10-20 like this: :10,20Cmt
I have tried something like :command -range Cmt <line1>gg O ... but it didn't work.
You want to use the :normal! command:
command -range Cmt normal! <line1>ggO
Commands take everything to the right of the name (Cmt) and runs it as an ex command:
command -nargs=1 LetX let g:x = '<args>'
Substitutions are made on the command before it's executed. So, running 10Cmt will execute :normal! 10ggO.
