Usage:
/GRAB text
This command puts text into the input buffer. It is not really useful from the normal command line, but is quite useful when called from a macro to redefine macros, or perhaps when bound to a key to speed up part of a line (macros allow you to largely do what this would allow, however). Any text already in the input buffer is discarded.
Example:
/def reedit = /grab /edit %1 = $%1If you had previously done "
/def
flail = :flails at his keyboard
", the command "/reedit
flail
" would place "/edit
flail = :flails at his keyboard
" in the input buffer and allow you
to edit it using the editing keys. See
"evaluation" for details on how
macros like this work.
