Hi,
How can I apply a macro on a set of selected lines? I have a simple
mapping under <F4> (aligment of '=' on the same column, but it's not
really important)
:map <F4> 0f=60i <Esc>D60<Bar>p
and I want to execute it for every line in a Visual Line selection. I
tried this
:'<,'>normal <F4>
But there was no effect. Is there an alternative, please?
Thank you,
Wim
Possibility 1:
:'<,'>exe "normal \<F4>"
Possibility 2:
:'<,'>normal (hit Ctrl-V)(hit F4)
where (hit Ctrl-V) means "hit Ctrl-V unless your Ctrl-V is remapped to
paste from the clipboard, in which case you should hit Ctrl-Q instead".
These two options didn't do anything here, I'm afraid.
Possibility 1 gives me the error E481: no range allowed.
Ctrl-V isn't remapped (I don't use the Windows mappings, although I do
use Windows, ViM 7.0) and pressing it like you describe in Possibility 2
just puts "<F4>". Executing it doesn't have any effect either.
Tnx,
Wim
