Doesn't {{v do exactly what you've asked for?

    Yes BrowserUk, yes it does. Thank you!

      Thanks for the tip BrowserUk I will remember that for future reference.

      Are you able to explain the syntax of the command and how it works? I can see there is a section documenting it in perldebug, but it is not clear what the difference is between a { [command] and a {{ [command] (Two curly braces)

      Edit: That post had the wrong parent. will_ please ignore.

        , but it is not clear what the difference

        As I understand it, one brace sets the pre-prompt action unconditionally. Two adds (effectively pushes) the new command(s) to any currently existing.
