Description

I don't know how to run commands equivalent to what gets run in keybindings such as lua:plugin.toplevelfunc, nor things like ToggleRuler from the ctrl-e bound commadbar.

I don't know what it's supposed to do, but if I tab complete in the empty command bar, an entry eval is suggested, but when I try to run it I get Eval unsupported. I don't see it mentioned in the documentation.

It would be nice if it was possible to run any and all actions from the command bar.

Version: 2.0.8

Research direction

Start by reproducing the command-bar behavior described for keybindings such as lua:plugin.toplevelfunc, ToggleRuler, and eval, then trace how those commands are documented and dispatched. The issue is complete when the intended actions can be invoked from the command bar and the eval behavior is documented or clearly supported.
