More Vim: Save Time With Macros
The following is a section that we left out of this week’s Mac DevCenter article What Is Vim (It’s Easier than You Think) because of length constraints. I hope you find it useful as one more point on your radar screen as you ponder the productivity that Vim may be able to add to your daily workflow. Do you find yourself frequently whipping out the python interpreter or cooking up regular expressions in Perl just to munge some text? Even if you’re already really good, I bet Vim macros can still make you even better. A Vim macro is simply a set of keystrokes that you can record and use over again to perform repetitious tasks. But wait a tick.
This is a guest post written by SathiyaMoorthy. This article is part of the ongoing Vi / Vim Tips and Tricks Series. As a programmer, you may do lot of repetitive tasks while coding such as: Adding file header Adding function/frame comment Including default code snippet Performing syntax check Reading documentation about a function Converting a code block to comment, and vice versa
