I wanted to use autocmd to trigger specific actions when GhostText was
activated (namely focus my Neovide instance), and creating an autocmd using
au nvim_ghost_user_autocommands User * ! open -a iTerm
was too broad, as it wouldtrigger for any User event defined by other plugins.
So I created a new autocmd that is then triggered with
nvim_exec_autocmd
, butpassing the url via the
data
callback property, only available in thenvim_create_autocmd
function call. It's notably more useful when writingconfig files in Lua.
