​@@ZantierTasa yeahhh this is one of the methods I tried using and disliked. The issue with it is that I need to, on the spot, occupy some sort of space in the file to edit my macro in, probably freaking out the syntax highlighting, lsp, and diagnostics in the process. it feels really messy to do. I could use :new to go edit it in a blank buffer and then close it, but at that point, what am I even doing, right? it feels like a bit more effort than it's usually worth. macros are definitely still really really important, but if I fuck up, the solution is generally messy, which is why I try to solve problems with :norm and :s when I can

The mic pops to the exaltations are the artifacts of joy

I love this short so much 😹

The best part is the expressions on my coworkers' faces when I do this

The next step is to do this using two bookmarks so vim in one macro will go back and forth between the pattern matching and the symbol definition and move both bookmarks down one line each time.

That got me thinking. I'm just learning vim motions, so I constantly compare them to usual vscode "motions". I did such transformations on daily basis with multiple cursors and toUppercase / toLowercase commands. Vim is powerful with moving around, sure, but is that really the greatest macro? 😮

@@bursthooverbag10 sure except what replicates multi cursor in vim requires 1-2-4 buttons to press per occurrence, which is not zero, which is an W for vsc.
