It seems strange to me that recorded macros behave differently from normal mode mappings, especially if you interpret them as above. :help @ even says "the register is executed like a mapping". For example: qa0:echo getfontname()<Enter>q i<C-O>@a This does not insert the :echo getfontname(), it does exactly as is done in normal mode. However, :nnoremap <F9> 0:echo getfontname()<CR> i<C-O><F9> This inserts the :echo command in the text. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
