Playing With Vim Macros I usually binded all my compile scripts to macro keys, for example @c for c , @p for python, @j for java etc. however, after some time these macros have been increased and it got a lot. With vim macros, you can record actions and store them inside vim registers to be executed whenever you need it. in this chapter, you will learn how to use macros to automate mundane tasks (plus it looks cool to watch your file edit itself).
Vim Macros In Vs Code Superpowers Tutorial These steps illustrate the basic process of creating a file, opening it in vi editor, recording a simple macro to type 'hello', and then replaying that macro multiple times. Before you go for writing a thousands lines .vimrc (which is a good thing, but you can postpone it for a while), i think you might want to look at the plain recording, in particular you may consider using the q (where is any key) for recording, q to finish recording and @ to execute recorded macro. The basic workflow of a vim macro consists of recording your commands and keystrokes while doing the edits required to solve the problem on the first line, saving the command sequence to a register, and then replaying the macro to do the same on the remaining lines. If you enter the same key sequence twice (e.g. abcabc), this plugin will define a macro with the key sequence (e.g. abc). if you type the subsequence (e.g. a) of the previous key sequence (e.g. abc), this plugin will define a macro with the rest of the previous sequence (e.g. bc).

Macros in vim are one the most powerful features which you will encounter in any editor, partly because of the extensive keyboard mappings available in vim. we won't stop here, in next parts we will cover more features which will demonstrate why vim is not your average text editor. Running any programming language with same macro in a split term. you have a macro that runs a command that is to build run the current buffer? yes. what does that mean? for example you have html, javascript, python, java in 4 different buffers. Do you want to quickly run and test any code without leaving vim and without even opening a :terminal? there is a very simple way of achieving this. all we need is a runner function, a run command and a mapping to call it. here is an example: function! coderunner() if &ft ==# 'python' execute 'rpy' endif endfunction. and the run command: command!. With vim macros, you can record actions and store them inside vim registers to be executed whenever you need it. in this chapter, you will learn how to use macros to automate mundane tasks (plus it looks cool to watch your file edit itself).
