Doug Kearns 4f14857d66 Normalise regex -> regexp.
This is what JS uses and using both is confusing.

<p>
&dactyl.appName; can repeat commands in a number of ways, from repeating
the last command, to recording and playing macros, to saving its state and
executing scripts.

unlike in Vim, this does not apply solely to editing commands,
mainly because &dactyl.appName; doesn't have them.

recorded keys are appended to the lowercase macro of the same

<description>
<p>
Read Ex commands, JavaScript, or CSS from <a>file</a>. Files are
interpreted based on their extensions. Files which end in
<em>.js</em> are executed as JavaScript, while those ending in
<em>.css</em> are loaded as Cascading Stylesheets, and anything
else is interpreted as Ex commands. In normal cases, any errors
generated by the execution or non-existence of <a>file</a> are
printed to the <t>command-line</t> area. When <oa>!</oa> is
provided, these are suppressed.
</p>
<p>
Environment variables in <a>file</a> are expanded to their current
value, and the prefix <em>~</em> is replaced with the value of
<em>$HOME</em>. See <t>expand-env</t> and <t>initialization</t>
for more information.
</p>
<h3 tag=":source-css">Cascading Stylesheets</h3>
<p>
When a CSS file is sourced, its contents are applied to every web
page and every chrome document, including all browser windows and
dialogs. If the same file is sourced more than once, its previous
rules are cleared before it is applied again. Rules can be
restricted to specific documents by enclosing them in
<link topic="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/@-moz-document">@-moz-document</link>
blocks.
</p>
<h3 tag=":source-javascript">JavaScript</h3>
<p>
JavaScript files are executed with full chrome privileges in their
own global namespaces. These namespaces are stored as objects in
the <em>plugins</em> object, in the property named after the full
path of the sourced file. This means that any variables or
functions created by your script are stored as properties of that
object. Additionally, all properties of the global <em>window</em>
and <em>modules</em> objects are accessible to your script as
global variables.
</p>
<p>
Files in <em>~/.&dactyl.name;/plugins</em> may additionally be
accessed in <em>plugins.<a>filename</a></em> where <a>filename</a>
is the last component of the file's path stripped of any
extensions, with all hyphens stripped and any letter following a
hyphen capitalized. So, the file
<em>~/.&dactyl.name;/plugins/foo-bar.js</em> may be accessed as
<em>plugins.fooBar</em>. See also <t>writing-plugins</t>
</p>
<h3 tag=":source-ex">Ex commands</h3>
<p>
Ex command files are executed as if each line were entered into
the &tag.command-line; individually.
Additionally, certain commands support the same here document
syntax supported by most Unix shells and by the &tag.command-line;.
So, to execute a JavaScript statement which does not comfortably fit
on a single line, you can use
</p>
<p>See also <t>ex-scripts</t> below.</p>
<code><ex>:js</ex> &lt;&lt;<em>EOF</em>
<kwd><hl key="Object">var</hl></kwd> hello = <kwd>function</kwd> () {
alert(<str>Hello world</str>);
}
<em>EOF</em></code>

<description>
<p>
Immediately load all plugins which have yet to be loaded. Because
plugins are not automatically loaded until after <tt><t>&dactyl.name;rc</t></tt>
is sourced, this command must be placed early in the
<tt>&dactyl.name;rc</tt> file if <tt>&dactyl.name;rc</tt> uses commands or options
which are defined by plugins. Additionally, this command allows
newly installed plugins to be easily loaded without restarting
&dactyl.appName;. See also <o>loadplugins</o>.

<h3 tag="ex-scripts">Ex Command Scripts</h3>
<p>
Ex command scripts are similar to both entering commands on the
&tag.command-line; and to Vim
scripts, but with some notable differences.
</p>
<p tag="multiline-commands">
Commands in Ex command scripts can span multiple lines by
prefixing the second and further lines with a <em>\</em>
character. For instance, the following all define commands whose
definitions span multiple lines.
</p>
<code><ex>:command!</ex> <str delim="">foo</str>
\ <em>-description</em> <str>A command that frobs bars</str>
\ <ex>:javascript</ex> frob(content.bar)</code>
<code><ex>:style</ex> <em>-name</em> <str delim="'">foo</str>
\ <str delim="'">foobar.com</str>
\ p<str delim="">:first-line</str> { <em>font-variant</em>: <str delim="">small-caps</str>; }
\ div<em>#side-bar</em> > <str delim="">:first-child</str> { <em>display</em>: <str delim="">none</str>; }</code>
<code><ex>:command!</ex> <str delim="">do-some-stuff</str>
\ <em>-description</em> <str>A command which does some stuff in JavaScript</str>
\ <ex>:javascript</ex> &lt;&lt;<em>EOF</em>
\ window.do(<str>some</str>);
\ window.do(<str>stuff</str>);
\<em>EOF</em></code>
<code><ex>:command!</ex> <str delim="">do-some-stuff</str>
\ <em>-description</em> <str>A command which does some stuff in JavaScript</str>
\ <ex>:javascript</ex>
\\ window.do(<str>some</str>);
\\ window.do(<str>stuff</str>);</code>
<p tag="comments">
Lines may be commented out by prefixing them with a <em>"</em>
character.
</p>
<code> <html:span style="color: #444"> " This is a comment</html:span>
foo bar <html:span style="color: #444">" This is a comment</html:span>
<str> This is not a comment</str>
foo bar <str> This is not a comment</str>

<description>
<p>
Profile a piece of JavaScript code or an Ex command. Run
<a>code</a> <oa>count</oa> times and print the elapsed time.
If <a>code</a> begins with a <ex>:</ex>, it is executed as an Ex
command. Otherwise, it is executed as JavaScript, in which case it
is evaluated only once and stored as a function which is executed
<oa>count</oa> times.
</p>
<p>
When <oa>!</oa> is given, <a>code</a> is executed <oa>count</oa>
times, but no statistics are printed.
