Hi,

How can I convert for example the string: "M-x" to the vector: "[?\M-x]"?

(string-to-vector "M-x") will not give me the correct vector. I will give me
the vector for each part of the string.

I want to do something like this:
(execute-kbd-macro
 (vconcat
  (string-to-vector "M-x ")
  (string-to-vector "linum-mode ")
  (vector 'return)))

Is it something like this you are looking for:

    (edmacro-parse-keys "M-x")

In Emacs, it's all about finding the functions. Yes, Lennart that's the
function I'm looking for.

But can you execute the chain without concatenating the vectors? I would
rather be able to do something like this:
(progn
  (execute-kbd-macro (edmacro-parse-keys "M-x"))
  (execute-kbd-macro (edmacro-parse-keys "linum-mode"))
  (execute-kbd-macro (vector 'return)))

I want the above to give me the same result as this:
(execute-kbd-macro
 (vconcat
  (edmacro-parse-keys "M-x")
  (edmacro-parse-keys "linum-mode")
  (vector 'return)))

I have no idea. I do not use keyboard macros that way.

But if you really want to know I guess the easiest way is just
trial-and-error. Record a keyboard macro, save it and examine how it
looks.

(kbd "M-x")  =>  [?\M-x]  (which gets printed as [134217848])

I use the kbd macro: (kbd "M-x") --> [134217848]
Notice that                  ?\M-x == 134217848
