Well, this is a normal mode mapping (nnoremap), by definition all of
its contents should run under normal mode or not at all.
The fact that it is normal mode mapping means that {lhs} will be
replaced by {rhs} if you type {lhs} in normal mode. It never meant
that it should run under normal mode, the fact that first command is
run under normal mode is just a consequence of the fact that you
press {lhs} in normal mode.
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".
I think this was only mentioned in contrast to typing all the keys at
the keyboard:
:h feedkeys()
:h 'wildchar'
:h c_<Esc>
etc. (btw, is there a complete list of differences)?
It doesn't say that macros and mappings are equivalent.
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.
i_CTRL-O executes one Normal mode (builtin) command, then returns to
Insert mode. @a is a Normal mode command, but <F9> is not (same for any
other remapped sequence). Also, @a accepts a count, but <F9> doesn't.
Wouldn't it make sense to treat an nmap as a normal mode command when
invoked from ctrl-O ? -ak
