Another approach is to press qA (where A is the capital letter of the register where you saved the macro) and then press J. This appends J to the end of the sequence, resulting in: A,^[J

Fun fact: This isn’t exclusive to macros; it works for registers in general! You can use this trick to append text while yanking, for example: 1. Yank a line with yy 2. Append another line to the same register with "Ayy" Now register a contains both lines.

You can even use @a at the end of the macro itself (so end the recording with @aq) - just make sure the "a" register is empty before recording (by typing qaq). Once called, it will repeat itself to the end of the file. In this specific example you would end up with a comma at the end, though, which is probably not what you want.

Tip: after you invoke @a the first time, which requires three button presses, you can then just press "." by itself to repeat the last command. One button press; and hold the key down for auto repeat. Helping those oldies with much more than 15 years programming experience, and their arthritic wrists and hands 😂

You can also use ctrl-f to edit command-line mode commands or searches using vim motions! Eg :”compliaced command with mistake” then “ctrl f” to edit, then enter to run. Works with /“complicated search” too i think. the edits happen in whats called the “command-line window”. ctrl c (or :q) exits the command-line (or search) editing mode. (ie it exits the “command-line window”). edit: to learn more run “:help c_CTRL-f”!

The trick with macro as buffer also works in Helix.

In addition to others mentioning appending to the a register/macro using `qA`, you can also append to it a call to play itself back with `@a`, so the full a register becomes `A^[J@a`. Then play it once and it will continue recursively calling itself, joining lines until there are no more to operate over and then it will exit.
@BergenVestHK
@BergenVestHK 9 күн бұрын
I know the video is about editing registers, but I see several people here talking about different methods of joining lines, so I'll just add mine. To join all lines with a comma inbetween, my go-to is to just do: :%!paste -sd, It rolls off the fingers so fast, it's done within a second. And it takes the whole file in one swoop, no need to record a macro and play it back X amount of times. The only drawback (at least for my use case) is that it can only take one delimiter (in this case a comma), so if I want, let's say, both a comma and a space, I need to do something else. But for my use case, which is just joining lines with a comma, this is sooo smooth.

If the list is large, you can also call another macro at the end of your macro to make your original macro repeat. For example, if macro a is A,^]J@b and macro b is @a, it will repeat macro a until the list is done. I've done this in vi since back in the 1980s.

I know about this for a long time, but I rarely use it because it's mostly shorter to just do the macro again. If your macro is simple it doesn't take long to just do it again. If it's long and you edit the macro as text you don't see what will actually happen during editing and will often do a mistake so again it's often faster to just do the macro again.

Prepare your mind to be blown again, because you can also select all the rows/lines in a visual mode, then type ": norm! @", and it will perform the macro saved in on all selected lines :) In this case, though, since it's running macro on each consecutive line, it will actually only append two words per line, so this was obviously not a perfect example, but still, super useful trick.. What you can do instead, is make a macro append only "," at the end of the line, use previously explained approach to run that macro on all the lines (which will effectively append "," to each of them), then select all the lines again in visual mode and just press "J", it will do the trick :)

also, if you press ".", the period, itll redo your last command. so you can do @a and then a bunch of periods to redo it

you can also use @@ for redoing the last macro you used

Years ago I read a really good book on vim and the first chapter was all about how powerful the . command is.

before watching what you are going to say how i would do is select all the lines then :norm A, this would add comma to the end of line of every selected lines and now just press J couple of times and done oh yeah maybe delete the last comma at the end. edit: oh the video is about macro registers

This is the one feature I just cant help feel super slow compares to multi-curser in vs code. Use mouce (pain), middle click and drag. Backspace, comma. Done. Ctrl and macros just never as fast

Hmm, I feel like this example would have easier to solve with multi-cursor. Can somebody quote an example which is better handled with macros than multi-cursor (either directional or multi-select-same)?

The easiest way to put it all on one line separated by commas would be to do a regex that replaces line breaks with ", " Just saying

Interesting way to do it. Actually I use regex to make that happens :( A bit more works but it works

So I could just write the macro into the file I am already editing, yank it, and then play it with @0. Pretty nice
