replay a vim macro until end of buffer
VimMacrosVim Problem Overview
I want to run a macro I just recorded in register "x
" on every single line of an open buffer, from my cursor to end of the buffer, in vim. How do I do that?
I know I can replay the macro n times:
15@x
...or just hold down @
until I reach the the last line, but I want to just hit a few keystrokes and be done with it.
Thanks in advance.
Vim Solutions
Solution 1 - Vim
Personally I would do
VG:normal @x
Edit: changed register to the one you specified.
Solution 2 - Vim
You can do (in command mode)
:%normal @x
Solution 3 - Vim
make recursive macro:
qa@aq
ex:
qa0gUwj@aq
It'll UPCASE first word from current line to the end of file with single @a. But make sure "a register is empty:
let @a=""
Solution 4 - Vim
999999@x
, unless you have a very large buffer...
Solution 5 - Vim
From vim wiki, shortened version: qqqqq to record the macro @qq to finish recording @q to execute it (and will run till end of the file)
