    patch 8.2.1978: making a mapping work in all modes is complicated

    Problem:    Making a mapping work in all modes is complicated.
    Solution:   Add the <Cmd> special key. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/7282,
                closes 4784, based on patch by Bjorn Linse)

+						*<Cmd>* *:map-cmd*
+The special text <Cmd> begins a "command mapping", it executes the command
+directly without changing modes.  Where you might use ":...<CR>" in the
+{rhs} of a mapping, you can instead use "<Cmd>...<CR>".
+Example: >
+	noremap x <Cmd>echo mode(1)<CR>
+<
+This is more flexible than `:<C-U>` in Visual and Operator-pending mode, or
+`<C-O>:` in Insert mode, because the commands are executed directly in the
+current mode, instead of always going to Normal mode.  Visual mode is
+preserved, so tricks with |gv| are not needed.  Commands can be invoked
+directly in Command-line mode (which would otherwise require timer hacks).
+Example of using <Cmd> halfway Insert mode: >
+	nnoremap <F3> aText <Cmd>echo mode(1)<CR> Added<Esc>
+
+Unlike <expr> mappings, there are no special restrictions on the <Cmd>
+command: it is executed as if an (unrestricted) |autocmd| was invoked.
+
+Note:
+- Because <Cmd> avoids mode-changes it does not trigger |CmdlineEnter| and
+  |CmdlineLeave| events, because no user interaction is expected.
+- For the same reason, |keycodes| like <C-R><C-W> are interpreted as plain,
+  unmapped keys.
+- In Select mode, |:map| and |:vmap| command mappings are executed in
+  Visual mode.  Use |:smap| to handle Select mode differently.
+
+							*E1135* *E1136*
+<Cmd> commands must terminate, that is, they must be followed by <CR> in the
+{rhs} of the mapping definition.  |Command-line| mode is never entered.
+
+							*E1137*
+<Cmd> commands can have only normal characters and cannot contain special
+characters like function keys.
