I have also encountered this issue and here is my code:
def executeMinibufferCommands (c, cmds):
for cmd in cmds.strip().splitlines():
c.executeMinibufferCommand(cmd.strip())
@g.command("splice-insert")
def spliceInsert (event):
'''Inserts a new headline as a parent of the current headline'''
#c.inCommand = False
executeMinibufferCommands (event.get('c'), '''
contract-node
insert-node
goto-prev-sibling
move-outline-down
move-outline-right
goto-parent
edit-headline
''')
If I uncomment the 'c.inCommand=False' line, then I can call it
successfully from a keystroke. Hopefully I won't hit the 'nasty
freeze' alluded to by Edward.
I wrote this code years ago and am only just now using it. I didn't
realize what a headache I sidestepped by using minibuffer commands.
If I had tried to use positions and make outline modifications with
them, I would have met the great frustration I've had during the past
week with some other code I'm writing (partly alluded to these issues
in another thread--but I was able to resolve most on my own and
haven't posted about them).
Also, by using minibuffer commands, I get undo for free (though it
takes multiple steps to undo the splice-insert command).
