Question

For this example, I would like the custom :EasyMotion command to have the same effect as <Leader><Leader>w in normal mode. To achieve this, I have tried adding the following to my vimrc.

command EasyMotion <Leader><Leader>w

This does not work. Using this command causes the error E10: \ should be followed by /, ? or & to appear.

I understand why this is -- as this answer to a similar question explains, my :EasyMotion command is equivalent to :\\w, which is not valid. But how do I get around this? How do I write a custom command that uses a feature that can only be used normal mode?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Use the normal command:

command EasyMotion normal <Leader><Leader>w
