Well, let's see if I understand you, which isn't certaion since you
aren't using established Vim terminology. I think tht you are talking
about (register) _macros_, i.e., series of keystrokes recorded "by doing
them" by means of the Normal-mode commands qa to qz, but that (key)
_mappings_ might be more useful to you.
Mappings are sequences of keystrokes assigned to one key or to a
sequence of keys by means of one of the variations on the |:map|
command, see |map-overview|. For instance, I have the following in my
vimrc so that hitting F11 will always move to the next (split) window in
sequence, and Shift-F11 will go to the previous one:
:noremap <F11> <C-W>w
:noremap <S-F11> <C-W>W
:inoremap <F11> <C-O><C-W>w
:inoremap <S-F11> <C-O><C-W>W
The difference between mappings and registers is that mappings are
defined by the ":map" (and family) ex-command, and are often written in
the vimrc, while qa to qz macros are saved in a register at the moment
you record them, and registers can be saved from one session to the next
in the |viminfo| file.
See
:help map.txt
:help viminfo
:help 'viminfo'
:help complex-repeat
:help registers
Best regards,
Tony.
