vimsplain command mode not implemented

I'm not sure what you mean by "command mode not implemented". Usually command mode is understood as normal mode, and that is certainly implemented. Does it not work?

sorry. I don't know shit about vim.

I meant to say

I would like vimsplain to explain keypress sequences like :wq

:%s/a/b/gc

Things that start with a colon.

Those should work, and the fact that they don't is actually a bug.

aw okay. I'm looking forward to that bugfix.

btw, awesome project. I really appreciate it. I get difficult-to-understand vimcommands from stackoverflow all the time, and vimsplain has already helped me twice.

It would be a glorious day when vimsplain becomes the vim equivalent of http://explainshell.com

Don't look too much forward to it. I haven't touched the code in 8 years, and probably won't have much time to look at it.

Here's the error I get when I enter anything with :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./vimsplain.py", line 319, in <module>
    matched, explanation, instr, state = parse(instr, commands, state)
  File "./vimsplain.py", line 174, in parse
