The :command command defines a user-command which runs an ex command, not a
series of normal-mode commands. You probably need to use the :normal ex
command, which DOES run a series of normal-mode commands. Try normal!
^cwpublic.... instead of just stringing the commands in there.
To enter special characters, you may need to combine it with :exec and use the
special escape syntax for strings, e.g.
exec "normal! ^cwpublic\<ESC>..."
Or, instead of using exec, you can enter the special characters literally by
typing CTRL+V and then the character you need, in insert mode.
Note, in a script I'd probably do this with a substitute command instead of
using normal-mode commands, but since you already have a normal-mode command
sequence to do what you want, it's probably faster to do as you're doing.
