CYGWIN_NT ◆ rxvt-unicode-256color ◆ zsh 2009 views

You can have various types of menu entries:

type cmds for ex commands, e.g.: :wq,
type norm for norm commands, e.g.: \<C-W>n,
type keys for feedkeys() argument, e.g.: as in norm,
type expr for an expression-code, like: MyFunction().

Example menu definition:

let g:user_menu = [ [ "Open ...", #{ type: 'cmds', body: ':Ex' } ]
