ViM 7.3.46 on Windows XP big version with GUI 1. copy block of text to register *a* with "ay6
2. record macro sequence
/\t21
"ap;
3. result first time: cursor moves to first line containing [tab]21,
content of register *a* pasted below line
4. result next time: gibberish string pasted in - see screenshot if the
line below doesn't show solid blocks
█K8\t█KE█KD█kb^M"ap^[^[
What's going on? why are the keystrokes being pasted in instead of
interpreted?
Thanks in advance for helping me sort this out – life's too short to do
hundreds of copy/paste manœuvres by hand :-}
