how to insert a character in normal mode

[satorkain]

Let's say I want to insert a semicolon at the end of the line when I press Enter (in normal mode). I could not find in the documentation how to insert any character.

ret = ["goto_line_end", "insert_mode", ";", "normal_mode"]

My cfg:
ret = ["goto_line_end", "insert_mode", "@;", "normal_mode"]

and I'm getting an error:
No command named '@;'

It's not implemented yet.

you could use :pipe / :insert-output / :append-output commands to change / insert / append text:

ret = ["insert_at_line_end", ":insert-output printf ';'", "normal_mode"]

It helped. For Windows, the line looks like this:
ret = ["insert_at_line_end", ":insert-output echo ;", "normal_mode", "collapse_selection", "delete_selection"]

However, this adds a line break at the end, which I fixed by deleting it. "collapse_selection", "delete_selection".

It works correctly this way without adding a new line
ret = ["insert_at_line_end", ":pipe echo ;", "normal_mode", "collapse_selection"]
