Recording and Repeating Commands in VIM (macros)

Let's explore how we can create reusable sequences of VIM commands to save time.

Dude, this has literally saved me tons of time! To give perspective, I'm working with a 300k+ lines data file that needs trimming. Sed didn't work because encoding, and now I found this explanation. Thank you so much!

Great. I came here to see if there was a way to list all the macros you have registered/recorded.

[rafaelcoelho]

Good video man, exactly what I want to learn :)

[patomackcodes]

Brilliant! Thank you for this macro demo

[dariusbualan]

Nice tutorial man. I think we can also use something like 10@@ to apply the changes 10 times or any number we want.

how to record a macro with find a word and find another. If i find a word and then find another and stop macro. Then it ignore the first find match. Please check that.

If you record your macro on a number key, and then do something like deleting or yanking, the macro will be overwritten by that action, therefore DO NOT record macros on number keys.
