[Basic elisp question] How can I define a function that calls meow-end-of-thing -> "l"?

[kartikynwa]

I am trying to define a function that is equivalent of (meow-end-of-thing) then pressing the "l" key.

From meow-end-of-thing's definition I see that it takes a thing argument. So I assumed that if I call this function non-interactively I can supply what the thing should be. But I haven't been able to get it to work. I have tried this

(defun meow-end-of-line ()
  (interactive)
  (meow-end-of-thing 'line))

But I haven't been able to wrap my head around symbols in elisp yet. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Hey, the argument THING accepts a char, not a symbol.

An inner function meow--parse-range-of-thing gives you the bounds by a thing symbol. Or you can do this:

(defun meow-end-of-line ()
  (interactive)
  (meow--select (meow--make-selection 'line (point) (line-end-position))))

Thanks a lot. (meow-end-of-thing ?l) worked perfectly. In hindsight I should have been able to guess the expected type of the argument seeing how it takes input from a transient menu in interactive mode. But I tunnel visioned on trying to understand symbols in elisp. Thanks very mucb again.
