Record, stop and replay

0 of 1

Your textNormal

The macro ends with j0, so each replay starts at the beginning of the next line.

qa: Record a macro into register a. Press q to stop.
@a: Play macro a.
@@: Play the last macro again.

Before this lesson: Insertion; positioning; repetition.

More about this lesson

Record once, account for the edit made while recording, then replay.

qa starts recording into register a; q in Normal mode stops it. @a replays that macro; @@ repeats the last macro used. Recording already performs the first edit. Include positioning for the next line and check one replay before doing many.

Example

A macro that appends a review marker, leaves Insert mode and moves down can process several notes. The first note was changed during recording; only the remaining notes need replay.

Use Reset to try again.
