Where do you start with this, whatever this is? Does vim have some official docs I could refer?

'replay' is my safe word too 😏

I love vim macros so much that I don't even use an OS anymore, I just write vim macros directly to memory and cpu. Seriously though, a non-techy friend of mine once had a summer student job which required repeatedly editing text files for some archiving project. So I recorded a vim macro which did his entire work automatically in seconds, saving him the summer. Go vim

The trick with macro replaying with marker is so good, never thought of it.

I need to figure out markers cause I can’t understand how just replaying the macro goes to the next heading

@marinus86

6 ай бұрын

With a default config you create a mark with the prefix m and then the key you want to assign the mark to (Prime uses i at the table of contents and o at the last heading he found). You navigate to a marker by hitting ` and then the key assigned to it. The macro includes moving the o marker so each time it is repeated it searches further through the buffer.

That's pretty darn good. Would prefer to just use multiple cursors though.

Bro channeled his American past life😂😂

Peak software engineering right there /s

I needed to watch this like four times to understand what he's using the macro to scrape the headings into a table of contents

Mark the whole line with V then hit ":" to enter a command and enter the following: s/\%V /-/g So he played at least with the regex before recording.

marksman code action - > create table of contents

This is the first vim macro I've seen so you're right.

As a newb, I'm missing how the marker keeps travelling down instead of always doing the first entry. Can someone explain? Edit: Ok I got it. I kept missing the navigation to O before the search.

Ive been *actually* using vim for about 6 months now and Im only starting to use macros. Now this is gold but even for like small things, say like removing special characters from the line or incrementing lines numbets is very simple.

@steamer2k319

Vim macros. Vim has two modes: command mode and edit mode. In edit mode whatever you type just goes into the text document. When you switch to command mode, though, every letter on the keyboard becomes a one-button command for e.g., seeking to new cursor positions, cutting, pasting, find/replace, etc. You can chain a series of commands into a 'macro' and replay it in different times/places. If the macro is abstract enough, it'll work in different contexts. Here, Prime builds a macro to find header lines (that start with '##') in the document. The macro copy/pastes them to a marked area of the document where he wants to build a table of contents. In addition to pasting the title text, the macro also creates a second duplicate and reformats it as an href/anchor so that readers can click the link when loading the document in a browser. Prime verbally calls out the descriptive name for each command he adds to the chain. The one- letter/key binding for each command is also shown as a screen overlay for the video. It's very impressive that he was able to chain together the right sequence in one pass with no mistakes in his logic and no fat-fingering the wrong key 😅. It's apparent he's gotten a lot of practice with Vim.

I vim, but this... Holy shit.
