How do I enter command mode in Neovim during the recording?

[joshuadanpeterson]

I'm trying to make a recording of a Neovim plugin demo and I'm trying to get it to enter command mode to enable the plugin during the recording.

The first version was:

# Enable Plugin
Type ":NeovimCommand" Enter
Sleep 2s

The second version was:

# Enable Plugin
Type ":" Enter
Sleep 2s
Type "NeovimCommand" Enter
Sleep 2s

But neither versions enabled the command when it was recording.

Any ideas as to what I should do?
