So, all these plugins would need to be changed to use evalcmd() for things like that. I thought of making :redir nested, but it's not so easy. It's not so easy even thinking of how it should work. That's why I made using :redir inside evalcmd() and error. At least for now. > > It skips adding spaces where needed. > > I don't understand that.
