Cannot send `--` into tmux panes from vim
I've the following function and accompanying key-bindings to send texts from vim in one tmux pane to other:
" copy yanked text to tmux pane
function! Send_to_tmux(count) abort
let _count = (a:count == 0) ? 2 : a:count
let text = @z
let text = substitute(text, ';', '\;', 'g')
let text = substitute(text, '"', '\"', 'g')
let text = substitute(text, 'n', '" Enter "', 'g')
let text = substitute(text, '!', '\!', 'g')
let text = substitute(text, '%', '\%', 'g')
let text = substitute(text, '#', '\#', 'g')
silent execute "!tmux send-keys -t " . _count . " "" . text . """
silent execute "!tmux send-keys -t " . _count . "Enter"
unlet _count
unlet text
endfunction
nnoremap <expr> <Leader>p '"zyip:call Send_to_tmux('.v:count.')<CR>'
xnoremap <expr> <Leader>p '"zy:call Send_to_tmux('.v:count.')<CR>'
I basically use this function when I use SQL. Now, SQL has commenting structure of two types:
(written in the structure of :h 'commentstring')
- /* %s */
- -- %s
I always used the first type of comment, and didn't set up the substitute command for second type of comment. And now I see that I can't send texts into other tmux panes of structure -- texts. I have tried it in bare bash, and MySQL command line, same result. So, I guess bash is not taking string of that structure, or tmux is eating it itself.
I've removed all tmux configurations and tried to do it, same result. So, I don't think it's a problem with my tmux config.
How do I send -- to tmux panes from vim?

Looks more like a shell related question than a Vim related question. I would try the following (not tested, so might be wrong):
silent execute "!tmux send-keys -t " . _count . " -- "" . text . """
Add a -- before the text. Most Unix commands stop option processing as soon as they see a -- and everything after it is handled as parameter.

It worked! Sorry, I couldn't figure out where to actually post this question, i.e. Unix or Stackoverflow. And can I just change the mapping, i.e. always send ` -- ` before sending the text, irrespective of whether the text has--inside itself? I'm currently doing that, no problem yet occurred. If you have any comment, please let me know.
