    <description>
        <p>
            Lists the completion contexts used during the completion of its
            arguments. These context names are used in options such as
            <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"/> key at least once. You should also be aware that
            this command is only useful from the commandline.

        <p>
            Run a command. Runs <a>cmd</a> through system() and displays its output. Any '!' in

            backslash before the '!', then the backslash is removed.
        </p>

        <p>
            Warning: Input redirection (&lt; foo) not done, also do not run commands which
            require stdin or it will hang &dactyl.host;! It is possible to launch background
            processes, though (e.g. <ex>:! xterm &amp;</ex>).

            Start caret mode. This mode resembles the Vim's Normal mode where you see a
            text cursor and can move around. If you want to select text in this mode, press
            <k>v</k> to start its Visual mode.
