Example usage

What does it do?

It exposes the following functions and commands:

• acme.exec or :AcmeExec: If the user is on visual mode then execute the selection, otherwise execute the current word.
• acme.tagline or :AcmeTagline: Toggle the editable tagline used for writing commands or other useful stuff
• acme.mark or :AcmeMark: Mark a selection to pass it to a command

"Execute" means checking the selection and acting accordingly, acme-nvim checks the first character of the selected text:

• : Executes a Neovim command or Vimscript
• < Executes a shell command overwriting the text marked with AcmeMark (Or acme.mark) with the command's output
• > Executes a shell command passing the text marked with :AcmeMark (Or acme.mark) as standard input
• | Executes a shell command passing the text marked with :AcmeMark (Or acme.mark) as standard input and overwriting the text inside the mark with the command's output
• Everything else executes a shell command normally

Example bindings

• Enter in Normal or Visual mode to execute commands
• <leader> + Enter to execute the current line
• <leader> + t keys to toggle the Tagline
• <leader> + m keys to mark the visual selection (for use with |, <, >)
