        <p>
            Lists the completion contexts used during the completion of its
            arguments. These context names may be used to tune the function of
            the completion system via options like <o>autocomplete</o> and
            <o>wildcase</o>. Note that completion must be triggered in order
            for this command to be effective, so if autocompletion is not
            active, you'll need to press the <k name="Tab" mode="c"/> key at
            least once. You should also be aware that this command is only
            useful from the commandline.

            Execute key mappings for <a>keys</a> as if they were typed in
            Normal mode. If <oa>!</oa> is provided, only builtin key mappings
            are executed. This makes it possible to fake Normal mode key
            presses from scripts, key mappings, autocommands, and the command
            line.

<h2 tag="privacy">Privacy and sensitive information</h2>

<p>
    Part of &dactyl.appName;'s user efficiency comes at the cost of storing a
    lot of potentially private data, including <t>command-line</t> history, page
    marks, visited page history, and the like. Because we know that keeping a
    detailed trail of all of your activities isn't always welcome,
    &dactyl.appName; provides comprehensive facilities for erasing potentially
    sensitive data.
</p>

<p tag="private-mode porn-mode">
    &dactyl.appName; fully supports &dactyl.host;'s private browsing mode.
    When in private browsing mode, no data other than Bookmarks and QuickMarks
    are written to disk. Further, upon exiting private mode, all newly
    accumulated data, including <t>command-line</t> history, local and URL
    marks, and macros, are purged from memory. For more information, see
    <o>private</o>.
</p>

<p tag="sanitizing clearing-data">
    In addition to private mode, &dactyl.appName; provides a comprehensive
    facility for clearing any potentially sensitive data generated by either
    &dactyl.appName; or &dactyl.host;. It directly integrates with
    &dactyl.host;'s own sanitization facility, and so automatically clears any
    domain data and session history when requested. Further, &dactyl.appName;
    provides its own more granular sanitization facility, which allows, e.g.,
    clearing only the command-line and macro history for the past ten minutes.

            Clear private data items for <a>timespan</a>, where <a>item</a> …
            is a list of private items to delete. If <oa>!</oa> is specified,
            then <o>sanitizeitems</o> is used for the list of items to delete.
            Items may be any of:

        </dl>

        <p>
            When <em>history</em> items are sanitized, all command-line
            history items containing URLs or page titles (other than bookmark
            commands) are additionally cleared. Invocations of the
            <em>:sanitize</em> command are included in this set.
        </p>

        <p>
            If <a>timespan</a> (short name <em>-t</em>) is specified, only
            items within that timespan are deleted, otherwise the value of
            <o>sanitizetimespan</o> is used.  If <oa>-older</oa> (short name
            <em>-o</em>) is specified, then only items older than
            <a>timespan</a> are deleted.
        </p>

        <note>
            The following items are always cleared entirely, regardless of
            <a>timeframe</a>: <em>cache</em>, <em>offlineapps</em>,
            <em>passwords</em>, <em>sessions</em>, <em>sitesettings</em>.
            Conversely, <em>options</em> are never cleared unless a host is
            specified.
        </note>

        <p>
            If <a>host</a> (short name <em>-h</em>) is specified, only items
            containing a reference to that domain or a subdomain thereof are
            cleared. Moreover, if <em>commandline</em> or <em>history</em> is
            specified, the invocation of the <em>:sanitize</em> command is
            naturally cleared as well.
        </p>

        <note>
            This only applies to <em>commandline</em>, <em>cookies</em>,
            <em>history</em>, <em>marks</em>, <em>messages</em>,
            <em>options</em>, and <em>sitesettings</em>. All other
            domain-specific data is cleared only along with <em>history</em>,
            when a request is made to &dactyl.host; to purge all data for
            <em>host</em>. Included in this purge are all matching history
            entries, cookies, closed tabs, form data, and location bar
            entries.

    the only person who knew what this question really was about is now dead,
