command mode not implemented about vimsplain

[pafcu]

I'm not sure what you mean by "command mode not implemented". Usually command mode is understood as normal mode, and that is certainly implemented. Does it not work?

[renxida]

sorry. I don't know shit about vim.

I meant to say

I would like vimsplain to explain keypress sequences like
:wq

:%s/a/b/gc

Things that start with a colon.

[pafcu]

Those should work, and the fact that they don't is actually a bug.

[renxida]

aw okay. I'm looking forward to that bugfix.

btw, awesome project. I really appreciate it. I get difficult-to-understand vimcommands from stackoverflow all the time, and vimsplain has already helped me twice.

It would be a glorious day when vimsplain becomes the vim equivalent of http://explainshell.com

Don't look too much forward to it. I haven't touched the code in 8 years, and probably won't have much time to look at it.

Here's the error I get when I enter anything with :
