Macros

Record once, replay a thousand times.

A macro records your keystrokes so you can replay them. qa starts recording into register a, q stops. @a replays it and @@ repeats the last one. The trick for a repeatable macro: always end with a motion that leaves you ready for the next run (usually j).
