vim macro

Recording macros

Occasionally, you'll find yourself doing the same thing over and over to blocks of text in your document. vim will let you record an ad-hoc macro to perform the operation.

• qregister Start macro recording into the named register. For instance, qa starts recording and puts the macro into register a.


• q End recording.


• @register Replay the macro stored in the named register. For instance, @a replays the macro in register a.
