Vimscript

Note that the language was re-engineered for Vim 9+. For details on the new language, see Vim9script

Example

With an interactive vim(1) session, try typing:

:echo "Hello, world!"

The leading colon (:) triggers command-line mode, which exposes traditional ex commands and the Vimscript REPL.
