Hmm. What the heck does it substitute?

the substitute function is replacing ' with '\''. shellescape will do basically the same thing, but will adjust how it escapes characters based on the shell you're using. so it will work with multiple different shells

echo system("tmux send-keys -t " . g:tmux_target . " " . shellescape(a:text))

Vim as an IDE โ€” A combination of tmux and vim makes a minimal REPL IDE. I managed to cobble it together in a few minutes in spite of knowing nothing about vimscript and nearly nothing about tmux. My workflow is this: I open tmux and split it into at least two panes. The first one is where I run my Forth in, and according to tmux the pane is named '%0'. The second one is for vim. Now I need vim to send paragraphs of source into pane %0, as if they were typed. Tmux has a function 'send-keys'...
