Autocommands are a way to automatically execute code when certain events
happen.

|:au| |:autocmd| +
||:au[tocmd]|| Execute commands automatically on events.
________________________________________________________________________________
[c]:au[tocmd][c] {event} {pat} {cmd}

Add {cmd} to the list of commands Vimperator will execute on {event} for a URL matching {pat}:

* [c]:autocmd[!][c] {events} {pat}: list/remove autocommands filtered by {events} and {pat}
* [c]:autocmd[!][c] {events}: list/remove autocommands matching {events}
* [c]:autocmd[!][c] * {pat}: list/remove autocommands matching {pat}
* [c]:autocmd[!][c]: list/remove all autocommands

Available {events}:

`--------------------`----------------------------------------
*BookmarkAdd*        Triggered after a page is bookmarked

{pat} is a regular expression, use .* if you want to match all URLs. Note: This
differs from Vim which uses a glob rather than a regexp for {pat}.

The following keywords are available where relevant:

`--------------`----------------------------------------------
*<url>*        The URL against which the event was selected.
*<title>*      The page, bookmark or download title.
*<tab>*        The index tab in which the event occurred.
*<tags>*       The tags applied to <url>. Only for *BookmarkAdd*.
*<keyword>*    The keywords applied to the bookmark. Only for *BookmarkAdd*.
*<icon>*       The icon associated with <url>. Only for *BookmarkAdd*.
*<size>*       The size of a downloaded file.
*<file>*       The target destination of a download.
*<fullscreen>* The new fullscreen state.
