## The `xdotool` way

Credit: @x3rAx

Why type complex commands yourself when `xdotool` can **do the hard work for you**?<sup>*</sup>

```bash
:!(xdotool type ":e /tmp/exit.vim"; xdotool key KP_Enter; xdotool type "ggiquitall\!"; xdotool key KP_Enter; xdotool key Escape; xdotool type ":w"; xdotool key KP_Enter; xdotool type ":source /tmp/exit.vim"; xdotool key KP_Enter)&
```

**¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯**

<sup>*</sup> Needs `xdotool` to be installed
