I have case where I would like to trigger the TextChanged event manually without actually changing the text. Would that be possible? How?

I know it's hacky, but it would make my life easier right now. :)

    Are you aware of :doautocmd?

  • No. Do I understand the help page correctly? If I do :doautocmd TextChanged, then all autocmds triggered by TextChanged will run?

    Yes, or you can get specific on which group and/or events to trigger.

What you are looking for is :doautocmd. With this you can trigger all the autocmds in an event, or just those that match a specific pattern. Or you can scope based on autocmd group. For example, to trigger all the TextChanged events:

:doautocmd TextChanged
