Vim feedkeys
Flags
x
: direct execution, does not push into typeahead.
Direct Simulation
Flag x
does not push any key-press to typeahead, it executes the simulation directly, so it will never enter operator-pending mode. Such behavior is similar to :norm!
vim
call feedkeys('d') " enter operator pending for d
call feedkeys('d', 'x') " does nothing
